Confused about billing for seasonal vaccinations? A new job aid from Medicare Administrative Contractor National Government Services may help.
Remember: Medicare covers one vaccination per flu season, NGS says in the aid. That means a beneficiary could receive more than one flu shot in a 12-month period.
To access the aid, go to www.ngsmedicare.com, choose the "Resources" menu in the toolbar, and click on "Tools and Materials." The aid is under the "Claims, Billing and Payment" section.
