CMS COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate
An Update from Fisher-Titus Medical Center
Now Open in Huron County!
On November 1, 2021, Family Health Services opened a brand new full-service care clinic at 265 Benedict Avenue in Norwalk (across from Fisher Titus Medical Center). As a Federally Qualified Health Center, this clinic provides residents access to high quality care regardless of their ability to pay. Our services include primary care, behavioral health, and dental. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and all forms of commercial insurance. There is also a sliding fee scale for those who are uninsured, or to utilize when insurance coverage does not cover the full cost of service. “Family Health Services is so excited to be part of serving Huron County. Creating access and continuity to care is our mission,” (David Tatro, CEO of Family Health Services).
Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released formal rules outlining COVID-19 vaccination requirements for healthcare facility employees. Fisher-Titus provided helpful information on how they are responding to the COVID-19 vaccination mandate.
The CMS mandate states that all eligible staff at healthcare facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid programs receive the first dose of either Pfizer or Moderna, or the single dose of Johnson & Johnson by Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021. For vaccines that require the 2-dose series (Moderna and Pfizer), staff must complete the series by Jan. 4, 2022. The CMS mandate defines and allows staff to submit a medical or religious exemption by the Dec. 5 date. In addition, this mandate applies to anyone who provides services to Fisher-Titus including staff, volunteers, students, and vendors. The CMS mandate requires compliance, which may be vaccination or medical or religious exemption.
This health center is a Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C. 254b, and a FTCA deemed Public Health Service employee under 42 U.S.C. 233(g)-(n).
