As Alabama Medicaid continues to monitor the COVID-19 national emergency in Alabama, Medicaid is adding procedure codes for coverage. Providers may submit claims for dates of service on or after the effective dates for each procedure code as listed here. Providers may find the reimbursement rates for the COVID-19 testing procedure codes on Medicaid’s website at www.Medicaid.Alabama.gov by selecting Fee Schedules under the Providers tab.

Also in Alabama, effective January 1, 2020, all newly registered technicians are required to complete a Board approved training program within six (6) months of the registration. Technicians with Board approved training completed, PTCB or CPhT certifications, or registered prior to January 1, 2020, will be reflected as compliant with the training requirement on the technicians’ Board of Pharmacy website profile.
