How does a VFC program registered provider, who is not already a Medicaid provider, file for Medicaid reimbursement for the vaccine administration?
A VFC program registered provider is not required to become a Medicaid provider in order to receive publicly purchased vaccine. If the child is uninsured or underinsured, billing arrangements are made between the parent and the provider. The provider cannot charge for the vaccine supplied by public sources. However, it is necessary to become a Medicaid provider in order to receive payment from Medicaid for vaccine administration services provided to Medicaid eligible children. Consult your State Medicaid agency about the procedures necessary to become a Medicaid provider.
