Effective October 1, 2018, updates will be made to our 
Professional Injectable and Vaccine Fee Schedule for all contracted providers. 
These updates are made quarterly and reflect changes in market price (i.e., 
average sales price [ASP] and average wholesale price [AWP]) for vaccines and 
injectables as well as any modifications to the percentage premium.
Allowance Inquiry transaction
Providers can look up the rate for a specific code using 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.
Note: The Allowance Inquiry transaction only returns current rates 
for professional providers. The reimbursement rates that go into effect October 
1, 2018, 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.
