ARSD 67:16:11:05.01. Rate of payment -- Immunizations

Payment for immunizations is limited to the lesser of the provider's usual and customary charge for the immunization provided or the amount specified on the department's fee schedule website. The rate of payment is subject to review and amendment by the department under the provisions of § 67:16:01:28. A provider must obtain the vaccine used for the immunization through the South Dakota Department of Health's Vaccine For Children Program. A list of the available vaccine is located at https://doh.sd.gov/documents/Family/Immunize/EligibilityChart.pdf. Because these vaccines are available free of charge, no payment is allowed for the cost of the vaccine.
