Trump Administration Acts to Ensure Coverage
of Life-Saving COVID-19 Vaccines & Therapeutics
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. |
