Hi
Could someone help me? I am new to coding... When a patient comes in the office and received an HPV vaccine and the Physician counsel the patient and family. What code would I use for the counselng part of it? I am at a lost because in the CPT Manual there are counseling codes only for children younger the eight years of age.
Is there any counseling codes for children above the age of 8 years of age? And my next question is when using a dx code for the HPV which is the difference between V04.89 and V05.8 I' m at a lost. And if there is not a procedure code for the couselng part of it would I be safe, billing with a dx code V65.9 which is Unspecified reason for consultation?:
Final question, when a patient comes in the office for other problems but received a vaccine. How would you code? because with some insurance companies if you bill a 99213 with a Vcode there are times where the claim will either deny because youre billing an office code 99213 with a preventive dx code. Or the claim will be paid but when you actually bill a well visit it may deny because the pt is limit to a certain amount of preventive care.
Could someone please help me I;m at a lost.
Sincerely,
Linda B
