Enrolled MO HealthNet providers who are allowed to administer vaccines may begin billing for pediatric vaccine counseling for dates of service on and after Dec. 2, 2021. The Medicaid-eligible child need not be present, and the parent or caretaker being counseled does not need to be covered by Medicaid. Reimbursement is allowed even if the child ultimately is not vaccinated. Vaccine counseling may be delivered via telehealth.
