It’s important to note that the influenza virus vaccine can be administered in a variety of settings, including physician offices, clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies. Healthcare professionals should use the appropriate CPT code to report the administration of the influenza virus vaccine based on the setting in which it was provided.
In addition to the new CPT code for the influenza virus vaccine, there were also several other new or revised vaccine-related codes introduced in 2019, including codes for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, and hepatitis B vaccine. It’s important for healthcare professionals to stay up-to-date on these changes and use the appropriate codes to ensure accurate reporting and reimbursement.
