Flu vaccine Fluarix

[Kreismann]

Hi,

Does anyone know what CPT to use for Fluarix for Medicare. I can't find a specific code.
Should it be Q2039 - Not otherwise specified?

Thank you,
Kristi

We are using Q2039.

Is anyone receiving payment on the Q2039 with Medicare? Thanks for your help

Have you had luck with the Q2039? We also used that and Medicare denied all of ours. When I call them they agree that there isn't a better code, but yet all my redeterminations come back as saying they will not pay for an unspecified. I am ready to pull my hair out!

I am with a Florida family practice doctor, and ALL of our Q2039's were denied, needing further documentation. I called the supplier, which happened to be Glaxo-Smith-Kline for advice. They said use 90656 - I called Medicare to see if they will accept this, and the answer was yes. Maybe you would have luck by calling your supplier too.
