2023 $0 Part D Immunizations for Wellcare By Allwell
Date: 12/14/22
Starting January 1, 2023, per the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), adult vaccines covered by Part D and recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will be available at $0. Also, Wellcare By Allwell plan members will not be responsible for an administrative fee.
To improve vaccine access and member experience, providers should discuss any upfront charges with patients prior to administering Part D vaccines. This ensures that patients are aware of what they would need to pay out of pocket for the vaccine and are then able to seek reimbursement from their health plan. Providers can process Part D vaccine claims electronically via TransactRx, https://www.transactrx.com/physician-vaccine-billing. This should alleviate any immediate financial burden on the patient, even if they ultimately need to file for reimbursement.
Below are some common Part D preventive vaccines covered by our plan at no cost.*
