Effective October 1, 2016, we will implement a quarterly 
update to our Professional Injectable and Vaccine Fee
Schedule for all contracted providers. These updates reflect changes in market 
price (i.e., average sales price [ASP]
and average wholesale price [AWP]) for vaccines and injectables.
Allowance Inquiry transaction
To look up the rate for a specific code, use the Allowance Inquiry 
transaction on the NaviNet® web portal. To do so,
go to Independence NaviNet Plan Central, select Claim Inquiry and 
Maintenance from the Independence Workflows menu, and then select 
Allowance Inquiry. For step-by-step instructions on how to use this 
transaction, refer to the user guide available in the NaviNet Resources section of our Provider News Center.
Note: The Allowance Inquiry transaction returns current rates for 
professional providers only. The reimbursement rates
that go into effect October 1, 2016, will be available through this transaction 
on or after this effective date. Provider
payment allowances are for informational purposes only and are not a guarantee 
of payment.
If you have any questions about the updates, please contact your Network 
Coordinator.
