Do you bill for the Gardasil shot? If you do what is the code? and does the E/M code need modifiers for this shot?
 
You do bill for the shot. The DX is V04.89 CPT 90649 and either 90460 or 90471. No modifier is needed on the E/M.

History: Detailed
Exam: Detailed
MDM: Moderate

I would code 99214 w/ 611.72, 90649 w/ V04.89, and 90471 (if first shot) or 90472 (if consecutive shots) w/ V04.89.

Let me know if this helps, :)
