Pneumococcal Vaccine Eligibility Data Issue

08/22/2019 | 13:39 PM

CMS announced a data issue with beneficiary eligibility information for the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) which are both covered by Medicare. When a provider administers only one vaccine, in some cases the beneficiary eligibility response reflects both vaccines have been administered.  CMS anticipates this will be resolved in early 2020.
