Billing & Collection

The shared mission of California’s hospitals is to be on the front-lines of serving the health care needs of their local communities – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hospitals and their medical staff are relied upon to care and cure patients; this task requires a relationship with their communities built on trust, reliability, and compassion.

H1N1 Vaccine - Billing and Coverage Information

In anticipation of the availability of a vaccine for the H1N1 virus in the fall of 2009, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) created two new HCPCS Codes for the vaccine itself (G9142), which is not payable by Medicare as it will be supplied at no cost, and for the administration (G9141), which is payable. The effective date of G9142 and G9141 is September 1, 2009.
