COVID-19 Vaccine Information for Medical Providers
Medical providers will have an important role in vaccinating their staff, and volunteers. Health care systems will be asked to identify sub groups of employees, and make decisions on who to recommend for earlier vaccination based on such factors as job role and health-related risk factors. DPH will require plans from any organization wishing to provide vaccination for its staff on-site, and will work with them to identify potential vaccinators within the state. Below are resources to assist you in your planning efforts.

Provider Reimbursement
For most providers, Delaware Medicaid (DMMA), and our partner MCOs (Amerihealth Caritas of Delaware and Highmark Health Options) will be using the Medicare Fee Schedule rates for COVID-19 vaccine administration. Additional guidance will be forthcoming for certain providers subject to alternative fee schedules due to federal regulation, such as FQHCs.
Any provider planning to bill for COVID-19 vaccine administration should ensure that they are enrolled DMMA and with both MCOs. See
