Wiki MCR Flu Shot

[ttcoding]

Please help me with a questions

MCR pt is under hospice, the hospice nurse would like to pick up a flu shot from pt PCP and adminster it to patient. Can the PCP bill for the Flu shot?

I don't know any references for this situation, so this is just my opinion.

I would think that the PCP could bill for the actual vaccine medication, since he/she is providing it. But the PCP could definitely not bill for the administration of the vaccine since the hospice nurse would be administering the vaccine.

Hope this helps!

Yes we only want to bill for flu vaccine
