If a provider sees a new patient and does a new patient physical exam on a 1 month old, is this considered EPSDT? If so, should the provider administer a vaccine do I code for both admin and the vaccine or just the vaccine as the administration would be included in the EPSDT?
If it is NOT an EPSDT and the provider also administers a Hep B vaccine during the visit, should both the admin and the vaccine be coded?
 
You would use the EPSDT only if patient has Medicaid, otherwise you do not need it. You can bill the vaccine as well with the well check. Code both the vaccine and the admin code if the service was at an outpatient office visit setting and remember if the doctor counsled the parent you can use the new admin code for this year 90460.

Hello Team
