Effective June 17, 2022, Reimbursement Rate Updates Implemented for COVID-19 Vaccine Administration Procedure Codes

Last updated on

Note: Texas Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) must provide all medically necessary, Medicaid-covered services to eligible clients. Administrative procedures such as prior authorization, precertification, referrals, and claims/encounter data filing, may differ from traditional Medicaid (fee-for-service) and from MCO to MCO. Providers should contact the client's specific MCO for details.

Beginning July 21, 2022, for dates of service on or after June 17, 2022, the reimbursement rates for COVID-19 vaccine administration procedure codes will be implemented for Texas Medicaid and the Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Services Program.
