Virginia Medicaid Covers Approved COVID-19 Vaccines
Effective immediately, the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) will cover the two new COVID-19 vaccines administered in pharmacies. Fee-for-service providers may submit claims using NCPDP EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS GUIDANCE – COVID-19 VACCINES.
Read the Medicaid Memo.
Important reminders
Please instruct Medicaid members receiving vaccines that require two doses to do the following:
- If possible, the individual should receive the first and second doses at the same location.
- The second dose should occur within four days of the date recommended by the manufacturer. If beyond this time period, the second dose should be administered at the earliest opportunity.
Need a ride?
Please remind your patients that Medicaid covers transportation to medical services under most benefit programs. Members (or providers on behalf of members) who require transportation assistance for their vaccinations can call and schedule a ride using contact information on our website.
