I am coding for a pediatrics office. I am receiving denials for 90471 and 90472, Era states that it is missing the admin code. From my understanding I thought the 90471 was an admin code. Most cases it is also billed with E/M service code. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
My company seems to have differing opinions on when and how to code for a tb test. We agree you use code 86580 but some of us think you should bill it out when the pts comes back for the reading and some think it is appropriate to bill it at the admission. Also, in researching on the internet I have seen that some say you can bill the 86580 at the admission of the test and bill a 99211 for the reading and others say the reading is included in 86580. Does anyone have a definitive answer on this?
Thanks!

One of our providers is billing:
99215 – level 5 established patient e/m
99354 – prolonged service
82962 – glucose fingerstick
90661 – flu vaccination
90471 – vaccine administration
What I am confused on is what modifiers to use in this situation, and where. I believe 59 would go on the vaccine admin, but would 25 go on 99215? Would anything need to go on the finger stick as well?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Mandy
