As of my knowledge cutoff in 2021, the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a new Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for the administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for individuals aged 5-11 years. The new CPT code is 91304 and was effective as of November 10, 2021.
This new code is intended to facilitate the tracking and reporting of COVID-19 vaccinations for this age group and will be used by healthcare providers, health plans, and other entities involved in the vaccination process. It’s important to note that the CPT code only covers the administration of the vaccine and does not include the cost of the vaccine itself.
As always, it’s important to stay up-to-date on any changes to medical coding systems and guidelines to ensure accurate and appropriate billing and reporting of medical services.
