Hi! I am starting Family Practice billing. I am more accustomed to billing and coding for specialties so I am starting out slow here. I am a little stumped with flu vaccine billing. Medicare references show that Q codes (HCPCS) can be used. Can the CPT codes be billed to and reimbursed by Medicare (90653, 90658 in example), or does Medicare only accept the Q codes? Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks,
Beth
 
Flu vaccine

Medicare will only reimburse the flu vaccine with cpt codes:
G0008 V04.81 and Q2036 V04.81
be sure to include the ndc code and number of units and modifier 25 if it is given with e&m service.
 
I hope they do, we just billed out a lot of -
90686
G0008

Just to confirm, we are receiving Medicare payments for 90686 for FLUVARIX
