This announcement builds on previous frameworks to provide the vaccine to those in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, ensuring that millions of older Americans are protected. From day one, this Administration has prioritized our most vulnerable populations and worked to protect our seniors from this virus,said U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D.I am committed to ensuring access for those who want and need this vaccine. In order for our country to remain open, we must provide Americans an opportunity to participate in the vaccination program, regardless of their ability to pay. Beyond Medicare, the interim rule also addresses vaccination coverage for Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries. CMS has also taken action to ensure that most private health plans cover the vaccine with no cost share for both in and out-of-network providers. Finally, CMS will also be providing hospitals additional Medicare payments to support and encourage the use of innovative new COVID-19 treatments and therapies in both in-patient and out-patient settings. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
