January 2022 CPT® Assistant Special Edition: Update Your COVID-19 Pediatric Vaccine Coding


The CPT® Assistant Special Edition: January Update provides a detailed look at new code 0073A. The code applies to administration of a third dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 pediatric vaccine. 

The intent of 0073A is to allow providers to report administration of a third vaccine dose in immunocompromised patients, ages 5 to 11, whose immune response was not sufficient after two doses. For the vaccine product, you should report 91307. 

The CPT® Assistant Special Edition: January Update includes a clinical example, procedure description, and guidance on coding a booster of a Pfizer vaccine.  

The issue is now available on Codify by AAPC. Find it by searching for 0073A in our Code Connect: CPT® Assistant Search add-on.
