Massachusetts Flu and Adult Vaccine Program for Local Public Health Providers (MHFAVP)

This state and local contracting opportunity, the Massachusetts Flu and Adult Vaccine Program for Local Public Health Providers (MHFAVP), is being issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services Office of Medicaid (MassHealth). The program is enrolling and paying local public health departments (LPHDs) for purchasing and administering influenza (flu) and adult vaccines, as well as public school districts (PSDs) for purchasing and administering flu vaccines to MassHealth members. The goal of this initiative is to provide MassHealth members with increased access to flu and adult vaccines in public health settings and in geographic areas where MassHealth members have difficulty accessing these vaccines. LPHDs must be enrolled in the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Immunization Program, while PSDs are only eligible for the flu vaccine component. Providers can subcontract services but are responsible for oversight. MassHealth offers technical support for completing the required enrollment documents, which include provider contracts, procedure codes, and billing instructions. Providers must submit claims within 90 days of the service date and provide members with vaccine administration details to share with their primary care providers.

This opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The provided information does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide details on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. While the documents outline the reimbursement rates for various vaccine administration services, including those provided through the Vaccine for Children (VFC) program, the exact award values or budget ranges are not specified.
