Are we all muted ? I had a question on the staffing. If a clinic has an injection department that has more than one nurse can both salaries be submitted if under the amount awarded ?

Is there a minimum goal or number for vaccinations. sometimes the demand goes up , but sometimes drops significantly?

Not sure what the difference in tier one and tier two is

Can/Should we apply for both Tiers? Or, if we apply and aren't accepted for Tier 2, could we still be considered for Tier 1?

So I'm understanding Carrie correctly; There is no requirement to administer vaccinations but we can use these dollars for marketing the Covid-19 vaccine and educate the public on the benefits of the vaccine and still be eligible to apply?

If we dedicate the staff for this program and they do not give any vaccines in the day, is their salary disqualified for reimbursement for that day? Or if they give one vaccine, only the time they spent with the patient is allowed? Are we sending timesheet for the entire salary? If they are existing staff, can they do their regular job (such as nurse or MA) if they are the ones giving vaccines?

is it only Covid or other vaccines as well? So if you have a nurse that only gives injections is her whole salary allowed ? Or do we have do we have to give times vaccines were given

Strongly encourage all sites who are not TVFC or ASN to join program immediately if going to be a future vaccinator through this application. In addition, many opportunities to increase revenue through billing of these immunizations.

If we opened one of our clinics on Saturday with a NP who sees sick patients but speaks with each patient about the vaccine, will the entire 8 hour salary count? or just the 10 minutes of so used to educate patient re: covid vaccine

We'd all like the answer, please.

sorry I think I am muted it's not working for me. If you are a TVFC and not ASN provider will you still be eligible for the increased reimbursement or do you have to be in both programs ?

will the answer be sent to everyone ?

So RHCs are going to be paid for administration even without a face to face visit ?

I'm speaking but you can't hear me

For additional ASN information, please email: ASNInfo@dshs.texas.gov

will this webinar be posted on the TARHC and TORCH websites?

yes, we'll post link to both webinar on the grant web page

Can you capture electric service costs if opening up on weekends for weekend clinic, can you capture gas costs for mobile (van) service

When you enroll a mobile clinic with Novitas for your RHC, you must list the stops and where and when you will be where. Each stop must be in a HPSA for CMS RHC Compliance.

Does the HPSA need a minimum score?
