Michigan Medicaid: Vaccines for Children Program

 What is the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program?

The VFC Program provides you with all routine vaccines for your Medicaid eligible patients, ages 0 through 18, at no cost. This is a federally funded program offered through the state of Michigan.

 

This program helps prioritize preventive care for Medicaid-eligible patients, reduce disparities and safeguard communities from preventable diseases. The VFC program works to ensure no child misses out on essential vaccinations due to barriers to care.

 

Benefits

  • Cost: Enrolled providers receive all ACIP-recommended vaccines for Medicaid-eligible patients at no cost, while still receiving reimbursement for administration costs
  • Convenience: Our members can receive all necessary vaccinations directly in your office, removing barriers to care and helping close care gaps for your patients
  • Incentive: Participating in VFC can help improve vaccination rates and improve your performance in our PCP Incentive program (PIP)
