Medi-Cal Expands Access to Pharmacy-Based Immunizations

Last week, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) announced the addition of a number of adult vaccines to the Medi-Cal fee-for-service outpatient drug benefit.  This means that Medi-Cal beneficiaries in the statewide fee-for-service network can now receive coverage for adult immunizations when administered in a pharmacy.  Newly added vaccines include those for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, HPV, MMR, and more.  Coverage does contain vaccine-specific restrictions.
 
CPhA applauds this coverage change to improve patient access to pharmacists' services.  "We are excited to see momentum in many areas of SB 493 implementation, including expanded immunizations," said CPhA President Sarah McBan e, PharmD.  "As more of SB 493's authorities gain recognition by Medi-Cal and other payers, pharmacists stand ready to assist our patients."
