The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) plays an important role in facilitating access to COVID-19 vaccinations for Medicare recipients, protecting America’s senior citizens from COVID-19.
Medicare Part D plans have an obligation to perform health care operations such as case management, care coordination or population-based activities to improve the health of their Medicare enrollees. For Part D plans to manage COVID-19 vaccine access and completion, those plans need to know when their enrolled Medicare members are receiving vaccinations.

Dogs barking, kids fighting in the background, phones ringing while you’re on video conference calls, the joy of getting booted unexpectedly from a Zoom call in the middle of speaking. Life happens when working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Work dynamics have certainly shifted from a year ago, and they’ll shift again as companies return to the office. The transition begs a host of questions and considerations for returning.

Beginning in 2020, we have been seeing telehealth play a key role in providing care and filling access gaps for members/patients most at risk. The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the conventional health care models, as in-person office appointments became unfeasible due to strict social distancing guidelines and the need to reduce a patient’s risk of exposure. The expansion of telehealth enabled member/patients to experience continued care while reducing the risk of overburdening emergency departments and urgent care centers during the pandemic. Telehealth has presented a valuable alternative during these challenging times, with an added benefit of savings derived by reserving costly healthcare facilities and their resources for the people who need them most. According to America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), telehealth could help save the United States as much as $4.28 billion on health care spending per year, and studies have shown net cost savings totaling $100 per visit.
