HRSA COVID-19 Claims Reimbursement for the Uninsured Program and the COVID-19 Coverage Assistance Fund

 

The COVID-19 Claims Reimbursement to Health Care Providers and Facilities for Testing, Treatment, and Vaccine Administration for the Uninsured Program also known as the Uninsured Program provides claims reimbursement to eligible health care providers for conducting COVID-19 testing for the uninsured, treating uninsured individuals with a COVID-19 diagnosis, and administering FDA-authorized or licensed COVID-19 vaccines to uninsured individuals. The COVID-19 Coverage Assistance Fund (CAF) provides COVID-19 vaccine administration fee claims reimbursement to eligible health care providers who provide COVID-19 vaccines to patients enrolled in health coverage that either does not cover vaccine administration fees, or does cover the administration fees but has patient cost-sharing. With the passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 and related rescission of program funds, no additional claims payments will be made under the Uninsured Program or Coverage Assistance Fund. Per the Terms and Conditions of each Program, all reporting and auditing requirements will continue without disruption.
