20 PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE
20.6 Vaccines and Vaccine Administration Coverage Under Part D Benefits
Medicare Part D (pharmacy) generally covers vaccines not available under Medicare Part B. Medicare Part
D vaccines are included in the health plan formulary located online at
https://providers.Amerigroup.com.
From the Quick Tools link, select Pharmacy Tools, then Medicare Formularies. Providers who do not have access to a vaccine on the formulary can call the prescription into a participating pharmacy. If the vaccine is administered in a network pharmacy, the pharmacy will transmit the claim to the Pharmacy Benefit Manager for processing and reimbursement.
Providers who have a supply and administer the vaccine in their office should collect the member’s copay at time of service and submit the claim for the vaccine and administration on a CMS 1500 (08-05) form to:
Amerigroup
Attn: Claims Department
P.O. Box 61010
Virginia Beach, VA 23466-1010
