CMS Increased Payment for Influenza Vaccines

On August 1, the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) increased payments to physicians for influenza vaccines and updated which codes physicians should use when billing for the service during the 2024-25 flu season.

Texas Medical Association billing and coding staff caution that to receive payment, physicians also will need to use a national drug code (NDC) associated with the current period.
