How should children on state-sponsored health insurance plans for low income be marked in VFC status screening?
Children in state-sponsored health plans are in the category of “insured” for VFC status screening. They can receive state-supplied vaccine. The billing process for the state-sponsored health plans will not change with regard to the administration fees and office visit fees that are currently allowed. These plans cannot be billed for state-supplied vaccine, so the key issue is how to ensure state-supplied vaccine is used for these children and communicate that information to the person administering the vaccine.
