How do eligible providers receive funding?

Health care providers who have administered Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized COVID-19 vaccines under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) or FDA-licensed COVID-19 vaccines under a Biologics License Application (BLA)to underinsured individuals, can request claims reimbursement through the HRSA COVID-19 Coverage Assistance Fund electronically and will be reimbursed at the national Medicare rate (not geographically adjusted) for the vaccine administration fees, or for patient charges related to COVID-19 vaccination, including co-pays for vaccine administration, deductibles for vaccine administration, and co-insurance, subject to available funding. Steps will involve enrolling as a provider participant, submitting claims, and receiving payment via direct deposit. Prior to these steps, the provider must submit a claim for vaccine administration to the individual’s health plan for payment and have the claim denied or only partially paid.
