Immunization administration
Immunization is the process of making a person resistant to an infectious disease, typically by administering a vaccine. It stops severe illness, long-term disability, and death from dangerous diseases. High immunization rates create herd immunity, which protects babies and people who cannot get vaccinated. It is one of the most cost-effective public health tools available.
Immunizations may be administered in a variety of ways. Intramuscular (IM): A shot injected directly into a muscle, such as the arm or thigh. Subcutaneous (Subcut): A shot injected into the fatty layer of tissue right under the skin. Intranasal (NAS): A spray or mist delivered into the nostrils. Oral (PO): Liquid or drops swallowed through the mouth.
Limits
Hemodyalisis: Covered without documentation of medical necessity up to three times weekly. Cannot exceed more than one hemodialysis treatment per date of service.
For AKI dialysis treatments during the monthly billing cycle, only one payment for one treatment per day across settings is allowed; additional payment may be allowed for an uncompleted or partial treatment.
Providers shall document the first date of the ongoing dialysis treatment on each claim submitted.
Providers shall bill dialysis-related services once per calendar month using the last day of the month as the date of service.
If the beneficiary dies before month-end, use the date of death or the last date seen instead of the last day of the month.
Hemodialysis training is reimbursed in sessions that can last up to five hours per day.
Peritoneal Dialysis: Covered when provided by a Medicaid & Medicare certified ESRD hospital-based renal dialysis center or free-standing ESRD facility.
CAPD and CCPD are covered per date of service, not per treatment.
Providers shall bill dialysis-related services once per calendar month, using the last day of the month as the date of service.
Dialysis training is typically completed within two weeks of initiating self-care.
CAPD training sessions can last up to eight hours per day.
CCPD training sessions can last up to eight hours per day.
Home dialysis is performed at home by an ESRD beneficiary or private caregiver who has completed appropriate training.
Self Dialysis: Self-dialysis may be performed only in CMS-compliant centers or in the ESRD beneficiary's private primary residence.
Little or no professional assistance is provided except in an emergency.
Dialysis training is typically completed within two weeks of initiating self-care.
Hemodialysis training sessions can last up to 5 hours per day.
Reimbursement for the completed course is allowed once per beneficiary's lifetime.
Dialysis training sessions are limited to 25 sessions per beneficiary's lifetime.
Training and retraining sessions are reimbursed at the same rate.
Exclusions
Home dialysis is not covered for beneficiaries diagnosed with acute kidney injury because they require close medical supervision.
For undocumented aliens, dialysis is covered only as an emergency service in a facility with licensed professional monitoring during each episode of care; once the beneficiary is stable enough for in-home hemodialysis without immediate medical attention, the treatment is no longer an emergency service.
Medicaid shall not cover the following Dialysis Services:
- a. office visits, home visits, consults and care plan oversight included in the
monthly capitation;
- b. access maintenance performed by the staff in the ESRD facility;
- c. take home drugs and supplies;
- d. specimen collection fees;
- e. transportation: The beneficiary is encouraged to contact their local county
Department of Social Services for assistance;
- f. medical supply charges, including syringes and their administration;
- g. costs associated with a private caregiver, outside of allowed training paid to
the training facility; and
- h. capitation payment for the month in which the training code is billed.
Note: When a beneficiary becomes eligible for Medicare or another third-party payer, Medicaid cannot be billed as the primary payer.
Federal Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics may not provide dialysis services or any dialysis related services.
