COVID-19 vaccine and Monoclonal Antibody Billing for Part B Providers

Guidelines for COVID-19 vaccines and monoclonal antibodies Billing

The patient can get the vaccines including of booster dose and or additional doses.

The patient administered the vaccine with no out of pocket cost for both vaccines and administration of the vaccines.

Vaccinate everyone, including the uninsured, regardless of coverage or network status.

When COVID-19 vaccine and monoclonal antibody doses are provided by the government without charge, only bill for the vaccine administration. Don't include the vaccine codes on the claim when the vaccines are free.

If the patient is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan, submit your COVID-19 vaccine and monoclonal antibody infusion claims to Original Medicare in 2020 and 2021. On or after January 1, 2022, claims for vaccine or mAb administrations for Medicare Advantage enrollees should be submitted to the Medicare Advantage plan. 

For services provided to Medicare Advantage enrollees on or after January 1, 2022, contact the Medicare Advantage for guidance on coverage and billing.
