- The answer depends on several factors. My answer assumes that this is the only service provided and that there is no evaluation and management (E/M) component involved. The CPT codes for the pneumococcal vaccine are 90669 and 90732. There are four codes for flu vaccine: 90657, 90658, 90659 and 90660. The appropriate vaccine administration code should also be reported.

Should hospitals use ICD-10-PCS codes for outpatient procedures? There is the worry that some healthcare payers may require ICD-10-PCS codes in addition to CPT codes. Although CPT codes are required now for reimbursement, some payers do require ICD-9-CM codes also. So maybe they will want ICD-10-PCS codes after Oct. 1 also. I'm not a lawyer so I cannot speak to the legality of this. The HIPAA law is clear that only CPT codes will be required for reimbursement by non-covered entities.

Usually either 71023 or 71034 would be appropriate--depending upon what is done; also, be sure to append the appropriate modifier (if coding for a specific setting). Hope this helps to narrow the field for you.

- Specific CPT codes are available for combination vaccines. It is inappropriate to code each component of a combination vaccine separately. If a specific code for a vaccine product is not available, the unlisted procedure code (90749) should be used. A description of the vaccine or. toxoid administered must be included on the claim to identify the product administered. CPT codes (90476–90749) are used to identify the vaccine product only.

A Guide to HCPCS Codes For example, CMS describes the administration of flu vaccines with a HCPCS code instead of a CPT code. CMS also uses a HCPCS code to describe a screening colonoscopy, even though there is a CPT code for screening colonoscopy. In these cases, the codes are not so much temporary as differentiating. There are also HCPCS modifiers, which a practice may use. CPT develops two-digit numeric modifiers, described in Appendix A in the CPT book.
