What code would you report for the administration of the smallpox vaccine? I found code 90393 for Vaccinia immune globulin. Is this correct, or should I be looking at the unlisted vaccine code? Thanks.
 
small pox correction

It is a vaccine - sorry for the confusion

OK now I am going to change my mind pushed the send button too soon

--- clarification 90393 is for an injection of vaccinia immune globulin for treating infections caused by the small pox virus..with that said the code is NOT appropriate for the small pox vaccine injection

Since there is not specifically a small pox vaccine specified you may use 90749 Unlisted vaccine/toxiod 96372 is good for the administration of the vaccine and be sure to use the V04.01 for the ICD-9
