I have two questions. I have researched this extensively. I just need some guidance.
1. Does Medicare pay for the Tdap or not? I was always under the understanding that Medicare does not pay for the Tdap. Ever. Just a TD if there is a injury. Then I came across this:
https://www.cms.gov/medicare-coverage-database/details/lcd-details.aspx?LCDId=34596&ver=36&CntrctrSelected=151*1&Cntrctr=151&s=36&DocType=Active&bc=AggAAAQBAAAA&
I thought the Tdap was not a Medicare benefit. I am so freaked out. LOL. So it can be billed? Any special way? Modifier?
2. When a (Medicare) patient has a Hep B vaccine due to a lab test showing no immunity does it need to be bill in a certain way? Special modifier?
Thank you so much!
