States Factor in COVID-19’s Impact on Immunizations and VBP Incentives

This commentary provides an overview of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) recently issued relief guidance and flexibility to state hospitals, facilities, and providers on reporting various measures including immunization rates as part of their participation in value-based purchasing (VBP) and quality reporting programs.
