Good news for seniors, disabled Americans and others covered under Medicare and Medicaid. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) confirmed Wednesday that any COVID-19 vaccine authorized or approved by the FDA will be available at no cost to insured Americans. A rule issued by CMS will require that Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance cover the cost of administering the vaccine and that medical providers will be reimbursed for administering vaccines to individuals without insurance. The U.S. government has spent billions of dollars in taxpayer money on the research, clinical trials, and efforts to purchase millions of doses of vaccines in anticipation of approval.
