Wiki Fluzone High Dose

[AMBIRAD]

Does anybody know if there is another code for the fluzone high dose vaccine?
It costs more than the regular fluzone vaccine, so I would assume there would
be a different code.

CPT and Medicare indicates to use 90662 for Flu-zone high dose.

"Fluzone High-Dose is an inactivated influenza virus vaccine indicated for active immunization of persons 65 years of age and older against those virus subtypes A and type B contained within the vaccine. There have been no controlled clinical studies demonstrating a decrease in influenza incidence after vaccination with Fluzone High-Dose, when compared to standard dose flu vaccines.

There are two flu vaccines called Fluzone: Fluzone and Fluzone High-Dose.

Fluzone is billed using CPT 90658, whereas Fluzone High-Dose is billed using CPT 90662."

Thanks for your response, I was trying to hard to figure out if Medicare wanted
a special code.


Thanks again
