The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) announced a COVID-19 vaccination reimbursement rate increase reflecting the extra costs providers might incur in efforts to vaccinate Health First Colorado, the state’s Medicaid program, and Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) members, retroactive to November 20, 2020. The new rate is $19.27 for the first dose and $28.39 for the second dose – a 24% increase over our standard vaccine administration rates. These updated rates can be found on the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing’s Provider Rates and Fees website under the “Immunization Rate Schedule” section.
