COVID-19 roster billing for Part B providers

First Coast has created a new standard roster form for COVID-19 vaccination and mAb infusion. This form is like the existing flu and pneumococcal forms and is available to providers through our website. We also provide an example below of the modified CMS-1500 (02/12) claim form, which serves as the cover document for the roster claim.

Use of this form simplifies roster billing for the COVID-19 vaccinations and mAb infusions:

• The roster form allows up to five patients per page and can be submitted duplex (two-sided) to allow 10 patients per page.

• Up to 10 pages per modified CMS-1500 (02/12) claim form will be accepted and scanned using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology.

• Only bill for the vaccine administration codes when you submit claims to Medicare; don't include the vaccine product codes when vaccines are free.

Claims will be returned as unprocessable when this new standard roster form (linked below) is not submitted with the modified CMS-1500 (02/12) claim form or if the roster form/CMS-1500 claim form is incomplete.

• COVID-19 Vaccines or Monoclonal Antibody Infusion Roster Form pdf file

• Submit form for either COVID-19 vaccines or monoclonal antibody (mAb) infusions. Do not combine both on the same form.

• COVID-19 vaccines -- For DOS on and AFTER December 11, 2020: COVID-19 vaccine: CMS-1500 (02/12) example with ICD-10 codes pdf file

• Monoclonal antibody infusions -- For DOS on and AFTER November 10, 2020: Monoclonal antibody infusion: CMS-1500 (02/12) example with ICD-10 codes pdf file

COVID-19 roster billing

Roster bills can be submitted on paper or electronically. If billing for both COVID-19 vaccinations and mAb infusions, these need to be submitted on separate claims. Do not bill for the other service on the same claim. Do not use roster billing for a single beneficiary.
