Insurers Prepare to Pay For, Help Distribute COVID Vaccine With Chart: Coronavirus Vaccine Effort Gets Closer to Finish Line

It’s imperative for health plans to do two key things at the same time, according to Katherine Dallow, M.D., the vice president of clinical programs and strategy at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA). Payers need to help the entities that will be distributing the vaccine to identify the individuals who should be first in line to be vaccinated, and they need to use their resources to help educate the community.
