COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Incentive program
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is one of the best and safest ways people can protect themselves and their families against the virus. As a participating practice in the COVID-19 Provider Vaccine Incentive program, we recognize your hard work by offering incentives for helping patients make the choice to become vaccinated.
Eligibility
The COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Incentive program is open to you if you are a participating Kentucky primary care provider with an Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid (Anthem) panel size of 25 or more members. All Anthem members identified as receiving COVID-19 vaccination services are included in the methodology. Vaccine results will be determined by a COVID-19 vaccine claim or by confirmation from the Kentucky Vaccine Registry.
The results will be calculated for two time periods:
- September 1, 2021 ̶Initial incentive payment
- December 31, 2021 ̶Final incentive payment

How much money Canadian doctors receive is unknown, but I’m sure there was some motivation for sure. Now you understand why most of doctors pushed this toxic cocktail. Was all about money and corruption.
