Medical Assistance COVID vaccination reimbursement rate increased

The Medical Assistance reimbursement rate for COVID-19 vaccination administration will be increased to the Medicare rate for the duration of the federal public health emergency.

The law, aimed at health care professionals who administer a vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration, including emergency use, is effective the later of April 1, 2021 or upon federal approval.

It expires “the last day of the first quarter that begins at least one year after the last day of the federal public health emergency.”

Rep. Tina Liebling (DFL-Rochester) and Sen. Michelle Benson (R-Ham Lake) are the sponsors.
