Flu Immunization Billing
Influenza vaccine manufacturers projected that approximately 100 million doses of influenza vaccine would be available in the U.S. for use during the 2006-07 influenza season. This amount represents approximately 16% more doses than were available for the 2005-06 season. An additional 15 million to 20 million doses may be available if a new vaccine is licensed in 2006. However, influenza vaccine distribution delays or vaccine shortages remain possible in part because of the inherent critical time constraints in manufacturing the vaccine given the annual updating of the influenza vaccine strains. Providers seeking vaccine should contact distributors and local vendors about any remaining supplies.

Submitting claims for flu and PPV vaccinations, and administration fees, is just as simple as any other claim you submit through CareCLAIM from OmniSYS. Medicare Part B pays 100% of the allowed charge and there are no deductibles or copays. Reimbursement is now $12.06 for flu vaccine, $24.57 for PPV plus administration fees from $16.20 to over $25 depending on location.
