It's Not Too Late to Get the Seasonal Flu Shot. While seasonal
influenza outbreaks can happen as early as October, influenza activity
usually peaks in January.[1] The seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to
prevent infection and the complications associated with the flu.
Re-vaccination is necessary each flu season because flu viruses change
each year.
CMS is asking our health care provider community to please encourage
your Medicare patients who haven't already done so to get their annual
flu shot. It is also important to be sure that you immunize yourself
and your staff.
Remember - Influenza vaccine plus its administration are covered Part B
benefits. Note that influenza vaccine is NOT a Part D covered drug.
For information about Medicare's coverage of the seasonal influenza
virus vaccine and its administration, as well as related educational
resources for health care professionals and their staff, please go to
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNProducts/Downloads/flu_products.pdf on the CMS
website. You will find a variety of resources that explain Medicare
coverage and claims submission policies related to the seasonal
influenza vaccine.
For information on Medicare policies related to H1N1 influenza, please
go to http://www.cms.hhs.gov/H1N1 on the CMS website.
