CMS Releases Updated Medicare COVID-19 Vaccine PUF

Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released an updated public use file (PUF) that presents a preliminary, high-level overview of Medicare utilization and spending information from Medicare FFS claims related to the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. This updated PUF adds three more months of data and refreshes the previously released figures with more complete data.  The PUF shows that between December 11, 2020 and March 31, 2022, Medicare payments for the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine were $2.5 billion.  The PUF is based on Medicare FFS claims CMS received by April 29, 2022. [Note: For dates of service prior to 2022, all claims for the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine were paid through Original Medicare for both FFS and MA beneficiaries. Beginning on January 1, 2022, COVID-19 vaccine administration encounters for MA beneficiaries are billed through the beneficiary's MA plan and are not included in this report.] To view the PUF visit: https://www.cms.gov/medicare-covid-19-vaccine-analysis  Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has sent this update.
