Effective September 15, Medicaid Fee-for-Service (FFS) Pharmacy Program began reimbursing enrolled pharmacies for influenza vaccines and administration of the vaccines for Medicaid recipients who are nineteen years of age and older when the administering pharmacist is an enrolled Medicaid provider. The cost of the vaccine will not be reimbursed for recipients under the age of nineteen as these vaccines are available through the Louisiana Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. If Medicaid FFS is billed for a recipient 18 years of age or younger, only the administration fee will be reimbursed for these recipients.
