Expanding Vaccine Coverage Under Medicare Part B
This bill aims to broaden the range of vaccines fully covered by Medicare Part B for adults. This means seniors and others covered by the program will have access to a wider array of vaccines without additional costs, potentially improving their health and reducing financial burdens.
Key points
Medicare Part B will cover all FDA-approved and ACIP-recommended vaccines for adults.
Deductibles and cost-sharing will be waived for these additional vaccines under Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage.
Initial preventive medical examinations under Medicare will include a broader range of vaccinations, including those newly covered.
