Wiki What code in lieu of 90718?

[pedscoder]

Code 90718, Tetanus and diphtheria toxoid 7 yrs or older has been deleted. There is no replacement code. We still have this serum in stock and it doesn't expire until 2014. Does anyone have suggestions for what code we can use for billing? 90714 is preservative free and what we have in stock is not.

Thanks but the 90715 contains the pertussis component and the 90718 doesn't. I guess the 90714 is the closest code.
