We are being told by our BCBS rep to use the HCPS code G0008 for billing Flu admins this year. Is anyone else doing this? It has always been used for Mcare pts only. Our next dilema is how to bill for the Flu and multiple vaccines at a well check up.
Ex:
9mos well baby, Rotavirus, pneumococcal, & flu vaccine.
We would normally bill 90467 (initial oral admin)+ 90680 (Rotavirus)
90466 (multiple inj w/2units)+ 90669 (Pneumococcal)
90655 (P-free flu)
Now if we have to use G0008 does that code count as the "initial" admin code and should we be using 90468 instead for the Rotavirus or is the G0008 considered separate altogether? I believe they want G0008 for tracking the flu?
