All previously published expiration dates related to the COVID-19 emergency are once again extended by the Alabama Medicaid Agency (Medicaid). The new expiration date is the earlier of September 30, 2021, the conclusion of the COVID-19 national emergency, or any expiration date noticed by the Alabama Medicaid Agency through a subsequent ALERT. A listing of previous Provider ALERTs and notices related to the health emergency is available by selecting the Agency’s COVID-19 page in the bottom section: https://medicaid.alabama.gov/news_detail.aspx?ID=13729.
Also in Alabama, please find below a link for the ALERT for pharmacy billing of the third C19 vaccine dose in selected immunocompromised patients. Effective Aug 13, pharmacy providers may submit claims for the third dose in that selected population: https://medicaid.alabama.gov/alert_detail.aspx?ID=15570
Finally in Alabama, please note a subsequent ALERT will be disseminated for the third dose for the expanded population as we near the September 20th approval date. See https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0818-covid-19-booster-shots.html for more information.
