CMS interprets this statutory requirement to mean that the Part D vaccine administration costs are a component of the negotiated price for a Part D-covered vaccine. In other words, the negotiated price for a Part D vaccine will be comprised of the vaccine ingredient cost, a dispensing fee (if applicable), and a vaccine administration fee. In general, CMS believes that Part D vaccines, including the associated administration costs, should be billed on one claim. Most pharmacy filling software is capable of billing these fees in one claim with the immunization by populating the appropriate NCPDP fields.
