Blue Cross and BCN provide $0 cost sharing for COVID-19 vaccine coverage

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are waiving all copays, deductibles and coinsurance for the administration of COVID-19 vaccines to all commercial members during the government’s multi-phased approach to vaccine distribution. Medicare is covering the vaccine costs for Medicare members.

To assist you, we’ve created a new document to support provider offices preparing for COVID-19 vaccines. The COVID-19 vaccine information for providers document includes guidelines on distribution, coverage, billing, reporting and more, using the most current information available.

We also encourage health care providers to review their list of patients to determine which ones are now eligible to receive the vaccine, and to consider reaching out to assist them in their efforts to obtain a vaccine.

You can find the COVID-19 vaccine information for providers document on the Coronavirus information updates for providers link on the on the BCBSM Newsletters and Resources and BCN Provider Publications and Resources pages of web-DENIS under COVID-19 vaccine information. It’s also on our public website at bcbsm.com/coronavirus.

For more information about our decision to provide COVID-19 vaccine coverage at 0% cost sharing, read the Blue Cross news release.
