A 3839 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to insurance reimbursement for cost of vaccinations

This bill requires health insurance plans to reimburse providers for the full cost of administering recommended vaccines. It mandates coverage for both vaccine acquisition costs (using CDC private sector rates plus a 21% minimum for shipping/storage) and all administration expenses (including counseling, supplies, and routine nursing activities based on current Medicare rates). The law directly affects healthcare providers who administer vaccines, ensuring they are compensated for both the vaccine itself and the full process of delivery. It applies to all CDC-recommended vaccines for diseases like measles, polio, and hepatitis B, as determined by health authorities.
