Effective December 11 the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM) will reimburse Medicaid-enrolled pharmacy providers for COVID-19 vaccine claims billed on NCPDP D.0 pharmacy claims. Currently, the vaccine itself is being provided at no cost to providers and patients by the federal government, but DOM will still require submission of the vaccine NDC numbers on claims to ensure the appropriate administration fees are being billed for the vaccines given. Also, the Mississippi Division of Medicaid has added new procedure codes that can be used by providers to bill for COVID-19 vaccines. To learn more, read the attached notice and consider sharing it in your publications. You can also find the information online at https://medicaid.ms.gov/covid-19-vaccine-billing-guidance-for-medical-claims/.
