Does anyone have insight on these codes yet? I don't have my new CPT book and have already been asked about them by my Director. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

I understand how to use the new "90460" and "90461" but when would use "90471 and "90472"? Would that be for a flu clinic, where there is no counseling, patients just walk in and get the flu shot?
The 90460 is only listed once per claim. and you use them only if the patients( parents) were counselled about each component. it is less likely that happens when in is the second, third and fourth shot is a series. The doctor will need to document the counseling. then 90460 for the first componet and 90461 for each component there after even if there are multiple injections and each injection has multiple components. This is my interpretation of this so far.
Hope it helps and if anyone has more informtion please share.
thanks
Interesting.....if you report the above example as:
90658
90715
90460 X 2
90461 X 2
then would you not be reporting 90460 per vaccine? Or are you saying you report 90460 as a line item for each vaccine given?
what codes are used if the patient is over 18 years of age?
I need to know if i can still use cpt codes 90465 to 90468 on claims after january 1 2011, the reason is my emr software still not have this news codes load in the system . I appreciate any help. thank you
I find myself referring to my CPT book to add up the components to bill these. Has anyone found a table that shows the # of components in each vac?
Is there an easy way to determine the number of components in each vaccine ? Is there a guide somewhere ?
