Insurance Commish Miguel Chaney issued the following statement.
The Mississippi Insurance Department (MID) issued a legal bulletin on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 providing guidance to insurance companies regarding the appropriate coverage for vaccines for COVID-19.
“I’d like to remind all insurance companies that they are expected to ensure that members have health insurance coverage for vaccines,” said Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney. “The cost of obtaining a COVID-19 vaccine will not be a barrier for Mississippians.”
Specifically, the MID expects insurance companies to do the following:
1. Forego any cost-sharing (copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance) for vaccinations at providers’ offices, urgent care centers, hospitals, pharmacies, or other locations allowed by the Mississippi Department of Health (MSDH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requirements, including from out-of-network providers.
2. Reimburse providers, whether in-network or out-of-network, for the cost of administering COVID-19 vaccines.
3. In the event that COVID-19 vaccine is administered in conjunction with a full office visit, emergency department visit, or other encounter not associated with COVID-19 testing, assessment or treatment, insurance companies are expected to reimburse providers for the vaccine separately if billed in that manner, even though the vaccine administration may ordinarily be bundled within reimbursement for the full office visit.
Further questions about this bulletin should be directed to the MID Consumer Services Division.
Call 1-800-562-2957 and ask for Andy Case or Ryan Blakeney.

I see that you are complying with President Biden’s Executive Order which bans the use if the term “Ch*na Virus”
You can tell things are getting better. Regardless of the narrative, anything Covid related would normally be getting tagged by thousands. You all are acting like it's gone away or was a cold as some stated.
'Should'? It's not up to Chaney. It's now a federal law. Cheney is, as usual, out in right field, moaning to no avail, hoping for a feather in his ball cap.
What happened to the daily death numbers?
Why did we stop with the fear porn?
Not you personally KF, just in general...it seems nobody cares anymore about the daily totals now.
And don't say the vaccine saved us all when so many I know are still seeking appointments in vain.
Its like the MSM are now encouraging us to have hope and not focusing on the massive death spiral of Christmas.
4:27...You can hear the daily totals and cumulative updates every half hour on Supertalk. Get any eight year old to find it for you on the 'dial'.
"President Biden’s Executive Order which bans the use if the term 'Ch*na' Virus” "
Joe just signed a piece of paper in front of the cameras.
His staff probably put him back into his wheel chair and rolled him back to bed.
Everything about the damn China Virus has screwed up normal life for everyone during the last year.
My favorite local Chinese take-out restaurant was one of the first to close.
A husband/wife duo ran it without any help.
( They had the best General Tso’s chicken in the Deep South)
They closed everything and left in the middle of the night.
That may have been a smarter business move than some local idiots trying to open new "concept" restaurants during an international pandemic.

At least they told you that's what it was.
