Wiki vaccinations for under 18

[Korbc]

Hey there!

For patients under 18 receiving Gardasil can i charge to their insurance or to them as long as they are not part of the VCF program? Are there any other restrictions regarding this other than the VCF program?

thank you so much!

As you are in Connecticut, have you checked out their website? https://portal.ct.gov/dph/individua...ons/providers-landing-page/cvp?language=en_US

If the Gardasil vaccine was provided by the state to be given to VFC-eligible patients, you can NOT bill commercial insurance or the patient for the vaccine. You can only bill Medicaid, Commercial insurance or the patient for the administration. If the facility purchased the Gardasil vaccine, then yes, you can bill commercial insurance.

thanks! i guess i don't need to worry about it so much since our head nurse says that they get these done mostly by their pediatrician instead. I haven't seen us do Gardasil for anyone 18 and under but I'm going to keep my eyes peeled now

thanks! when i said as long as they are not part of the VCF program i should have also said as long as they are not also eligible as well if i can then charge. my facility does pay for the gardisil as well.

thanks!
