We have patients come in to get immunizations updated for foreign travel. The provider reviews their immunization records, history, etc, and so there is an E/M charge. I haven't found a code specific to "travel advice" so I've been using Z71.89 (other specified counseling). Most insurances don't cover it, but one in particular said that it was because it wasn't a specific code, that if there was one specific to "travel" it would be covered. Is there one specific to travel that I've been missing that you know of??

Thanks!
 
I went thru the alpha index. But an encounter for travel immunization would meet the criteria for encounter for other than remedying a health state.
