| This session will include a study designed to improve access to care for underserved children and the impact of reimbursing local school-based health centers for delivering primary care services to plan members. The session will also include a study with the objective of describing infectious diseases in terms of Medicaid/State Children’s Health Insurance Program and an expected source of payment. This presenter will discuss identified states whose Medicaid programs provide HPV vaccine coverage for adults, determining how each state categorized the services, and describe how coverage decisions are made. Also discussed in this session will be the complexities in assessing pharmaceuticals through Medicare: Part B vs. Part D. | ||||
