Menactra shot

One of our clinics gave a menactra shot. After 3 weeks they finally called me and asked how to bill this. This is an immunization for meningitis a student needed for college. I am not finding a HCPC code to bill for this. Can anyone help??

I think 90733 or 90734 is appropriate.

Menactra shot

90733 or 90733 should be used. Please make sure that you use 90471 as your adm code...

What is the difference between 90733 and 90764?

90733 (MPSV4) is a subcutaneous injection
90734 (MenACWY) is an Intramuscular injection

The other difference is 90733 is a Polysaccharide & 90734 is a Conjugate

For more in depth on the difference here is a good resource defining the different types of vaccines (Live attenuated, Inactivated, Polysaccharide, Conjugate & Recombinant)
