I have been told not to bill the flu vaccine and an E&M code on the same date of service. In the past, when a patient came in for the flu vaccination and was seen by the physician for other medical reasons, we billed an E&M code, attach mod 25, and billed the flu vaccine along with the proper administration code. I was told that we were billing incorrectly and that we should have the patient come in on a different day either to address the medical issue or to get the vaccine.
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
