MSSNY supports legislation mandating that health insurance companies in New York State pay for vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for every individual.  Also, those insurance companies not reimbursing for ACIP-recommended vaccines should clearly state so in a notice to patients and businesses; and health insurance companies should reimburse providers for the vaccines at fees sufficient to cover the procurement and storage cost of the vaccine.  (HOD 2009-167; Reaffirmed with amendment HOD 2019)
