Can a State require Medicaid providers to become VFC program registered providers, in order to ensure that Medicaid eligible children receive vaccine under the VFC program?
Yes, your State Medicaid agency does have the option to require participation in the VFC Program. Some state agencies do not specifically require Medicaid providers to register as VFC providers, but they may refuse to cover the cost of vaccines that are obtained through private sources. It is to the benefit of the Medicaid agency to require provider participation in the VFC program because of reduced vaccine costs.
