MedAdvisor is pleased to be supporting the NSW free flu vaccination program.
During the month of June participating community pharmacies will be remunerated at $25 (excl. GST) for vaccines administered to people aged 5-64. A $16 (excl. GST) service delivery fee will be paid during June for each NIP funded Fluad Quad vaccine administered to people 65 and over to ensure there is no fee for the patient.
Do I need to register to be part of the program?
Yes, you will need to register your pharmacy by the 6th June 2022 to participate in this program. Please follow this registration link
Do I need to use the PlusOne booking system?
No, you can use any booking system. The vaccination encounter must be recorded in PlusOne.
Will all flu vaccinations from 1 June to 30 June be claimable, even if I registered after the 1 June 2022?
Yes, as long as you register by the 6 June, all vaccinations delivered from 1 June will be claimable.
How do I know if the flu vaccine has been successfully submitted for payment?
