Trump Administration
Acts to Ensure Coverage of Life-Saving COVID-19 Vaccines & Therapeutics
Under President Trump’s
leadership, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is taking
steps to ensure all Americans, including the nation’s seniors, have access to
the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine at no cost when it becomes
available. Today, the agency released a comprehensive plan with proactive
measures to remove regulatory barriers and ensure consistent coverage and
payment for the administration of an eventual vaccine for millions of
Americans. CMS released a set of toolkits for providers, states and insurers
to help the health care system prepare to swiftly administer the vaccine once
it is available. These resources are designed to increase the number of
providers that can administer the vaccine, ensure adequate reimbursement for
administering the vaccine in Medicare, while making it clear to private
insurers and Medicaid programs their responsibility to cover the vaccine at
no charge to beneficiaries. In addition, CMS is taking action to increase
reimbursement for any new COVID-19 treatments that are approved or authorized
by the FDA. |
