The additional benefit is intended to curb the decline in Indiana’s vaccination rates, according to a June 1 news release shared with Becker’s.
“We’ve seen a slight decrease in the average number of second dose vaccinations administered in the state, per the Indiana State Department of Health, with Hoosiers neglecting to complete their vaccination schedule and receive the second dose,” said CareSource Indiana President Steve Smitherman in the statement.
Other vaccination benefits from the health plan include transportation to and from vaccination appointments, the news release said.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
