Responding to the pandemic
Public health agencies have played a vital role in managing COVID-19 vaccination distribution. But with many not collecting insurance information from vaccine recipients and not equipped to bill administration fees, these agencies have shouldered vaccine administrative costs.
Insight into population vaccination rates
Billing for vaccine administration costs reimburses public health agencies, which in turn allows them to reinvest in other programs. Billing also generates data that gives payers visibility into their patient populations’ vaccination rates so they know more about their members’ health.
