re: Q2037- Influenza (fluvirin) Vaccine

Yes, Medicare pays for one seasonal influenza virus vaccination per influenza season;
however, a beneficiary could receive the seasonal influenza virus vaccine twice in a
calendar year for two different influenza seasons and Medicare would reimburse the
provider for each. For example, a beneficiary could receive a seasonal influenza virus
vaccination in January 2012 for the 2011 – 2012 influenza season and another seasonal influenza virus vaccination in November 2012 for the 2012 – 2013 influenza season and Medicare would pay for both vaccinations.
