Hospice Claims for Vaccine Services

30.5 – Hospice Claims for Vaccine Services (Rev. 3621, Issued: 10-07-16, Effective: 10-01-16, Implementation: 10-03-16) For dates of service on or after October 1, 2016, services for the vaccines provided by a hospice may be billed on an institutional claim to the hospice’s Medicare contractor. Since these services are not part of the Medicare hospice benefit, they must be billed on a separate claim that includes only the vaccines and their administration. For information on coding and payment of vaccine services, see chapter 18, section 10 of this manual.
