Please find the latest ALERT for pharmacy providers regarding coverage for adult vaccines, COVID vaccines and their administration. Also, an ALERT regarding coverage of adult vaccines for non-pharmacy providers has been released. Both versions have been released and will be sent to the respective provider lists. Medicaid shared both ALERTs so that individuals were aware there is a specific notice for pharmacy providers as the billing is unique to pharmacy. All ALERTs can be found here.
Also in Alabama, the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) has approved a community-based mobile crisis state plan amendment (SPA) that allows Alabama to create mobile crisis intervention teams to provide Medicaid crisis services. Alabama will be able to provide these services by connecting eligible individuals in crisis to a behavioral health provider 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. For more information on this approval, please see the full Alabama SPA.
