Medicare will pay for administration of the H1N1 vaccine, though not for the vaccine itself, which it expects providers will get for free.
There is a new HCPCS code for the H1N1 vaccine itself (G9142, Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine, any route of administration), while G9141, Influenza A (H1N1) is for immunization administration (includes the physician counseling the patient/family).

So...
ReplyDeletehow many shots will each doctor get?
will we be given a priority list?
will this one cause Guillain Barre?
what about health care providers that don't administer vaccine-where will they get their shots?
how do you prevent practices from secretly administering vaccine to their low-risk family members?
and finally with so little testing...will it work?
