Tvfc Form E6 102 PDF Details

The Texas Vaccines for Children Program (TVFC), through its detailed Provider Enrollment and Profile forms, plays a crucial role in ensuring the health and well-being of Texas' younger population by facilitating access to essential vaccinations at no cost to eligible children. Designed meticulously to cater to various health care settings, the enrollment form requires comprehensive details about the medical facility, the provider’s qualifications, and a commitment to adhere to the program's guidelines, such as screening patients for eligibility, maintaining accurate records for a minimum of three years, and complying with designated vaccination schedules. Moreover, it lays down clear expectations regarding the administration of vaccines—highlighting that vaccines provided by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) cannot be charged for, while setting a limit on administration fees that can be charged to non-Medicaid eligible patients. The form further mandates that providers cannot deny vaccination based on the guardian's inability to pay an administrative fee, ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent eligible children from receiving vital immunizations. Additionally, the Provider Profile sections gather statistical data on the anticipated vaccination needs, thereby enabling better planning and resource allocation. This careful orchestration of requirements underscores a strong commitment to public health, aiming to reduce vaccine-preventable diseases among children, regardless of their financial circumstances.

In order to participate in the Texas Vaccines for Children Program and/or to receive federally- and state-supplied vaccines provided to me at no cost, I, on behalf of myself and any and all practitioners associated with this medical office, group practice, health department, community/migrant/rural health clinic, or other organization, agree to the following:

1)This office/facility will screen patients for VFC eligibility at all immunization encounters, and administer VFC-purchased vaccine only to child- ren 18 years of age or younger who meet one or more of the following criteria: (1) Is an American Indian or Alaska Native; (2) is enrolled in Medicaid; (3) has no health insurance; (4) is underinsured: children who have commercial (private) health insurance but the coverage does not include vaccines, children whose insurance covers only selected vaccines (VFC- eligible for non-covered vaccines only), children whose insurance caps vaccine coverage at a certain amount (once that coverage amount is reached, these children are categorized as underin- sured), or has insurance with a co-pay or deductible the family cannot meet, (5) is a patient who receives benefits from the Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP); (6) is a patient who is served by any type of public health clinic and does not meet any of the above criteria.

2)This office/facility will maintain all records related to the VFC program, including parent/guardian/authorized representative’s responses on the Patient Eligibility Screening Form for at least three years. If requested, this office/facility will make such records available to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), the local health department/authority, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

3)This office/facility will comply with the appropriate vaccination schedule, dosage, and contraindications, as established by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, unless (a) in making a medical judgment in accordance with accepted medical practice, this office/ facility deems such compliance to be medically inappropriate, or (b) the particular requirement is not in compliance with Texas Law, including laws relating to religious and medical exemptions.

4)This office/facility will provide Vaccine Information Statements (VIS) to the responsible adult, parent, or guardian and maintain records in accordance with the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act which include reporting clinically significant adverse events to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Signatures are required for informed consent. (The Texas Addendum portion of the VIS may be used to document informed consent.)

5)This office/facility will not charge for vaccines supplied by DSHS and administered to a child who is eligible for the TVFC.

6)This office/facility may charge a vaccine administration fee to non-Medicaid VFC-eligible patients not to exceed $14.85. Medicaid patients cannot be charged for the vaccine, administration of vaccine, or an office visit associated with Medicaid services. For Medicaid patients, this office/facility agrees to accept the reimbursement for immunization administration set by the state Medicaid agency or the contracted Medicaid health plans.

7)This office/facility will not deny administration of a TVFC vaccine to a child because of the inability of the child’s parent or guardian/individual of record to pay an administrative fee.

8)This office/facility will comply with the State’s requirements for ordering vaccine and other requirements as described by DSHS, and operate within the VFC program in a manner intended to avoid fraud and abuse.

9)This office/facility or the State may terminate this agreement at any time for failure to comply with these requirements. If the agreement is terminated for any reason this office/facility agrees to properly return any unused vaccine.

10)This office/facility will allow DSHS (or its contractors) to conduct on-site visits as required by VFC regulations.
