what is the correct coding for the zostervax immunization? Our patients are picking up the vaccine at the pharmacy and immediatly coming to the Clinic to have it injected.
90736 is the vaccine code, but I do not see a specific Zoster code for Need for prophalactic inj. for Zoster. Someone suggested using the v01.71 Varicella code. This is not prophylaxis for Varicella. I do not think this is correct but instead think we should use the V04.89. or V05.8. If we use v05.8 do we need to then code 053.9 to specify which Specified Disease we are giving prophylaxis for?
Hope someone has some input .
