Wiki TdAP for new moms

[kmcgee13]

my pediatrician wants to give new parents or parents that have infants that are under 12 months Tdap. I found 90715 for the vaccine but unsure if I need to use v06.5 or V06.8

V06.1

TDAP for parents

can't use V06.1 Dtap is different than Tdap. DTAP is cpt 90700 and Tdap is 90715. I had already asked about that particular V code. thanks

Tdap is 90715 w/dx v06.8 hope this helps

Wow - this surprises me, because we use V06.1 for all diptheria-tetanus-pertussis combo codes...without issues.

I use V06.1 as well and get reimbursed.
