Hi,
18 month old came for vaccination and check up. Physician has documented the diagnosis as
1. 474.12 hypertrophy of adenoids alone
V03.82 Vaccination and inoculation; streptococcus pneumoniae [pneumococcus]
V06.8 Vaccination of combined diseases; vaccination of; other combinations
and has given the physician notes as:
The patient needs were assessed, there is no educational barrier. Patient received Education on Safe and effective use of all Medication taken, including potential medication side effects..
In this situation can we code 90460 and 90461 for vaccination?
Can we consider this Physician notes as Counsiling to code 90460 and 90461 which is needed to code?
Can we code 90460 and 90461 with E&M?
Please guide me through this..
Thanks in advance
