The American Medical Association approved two coronavirus vaccine CPT Codes, 91300 and 91301. Two codes are being used to better track, report, and analyze data for the planning and allocation of vaccines for coronavirus.
Four vaccine administration codes, 0001A, 0002A, 0011A, and 0012A have also been added. These administration codes are specific to each of the two vaccines and whether it is the first or second dose given to the patient.
How to bill for Coronavirus Vaccines.

We saw a patient that is traveling out of the country and wanted to discuss recommended travel vaccines with our physician; we are her PCP. The patient has original Medicare so my concern is the Dx codes that my provider used; Z71.89 Other specified counseling and Z11.59 Encounter for screening for other viral diseases. I can’t find another code to use in place of these Z codes and I’m concerned this won’t get paid with Medicare. There was nothing else discussed.
Advice?? I appreciate any feedback…
*originally we billed 99213 with Z23 and admin code but the office visit was denied
thank you in advance !!!

I’m having a hard time finding the Medicare fee schedule for vaccines/immunization and injections; looking for reimbursement info to be sure our fee schedule is correct. Thanks in advance for any help!
1. Does Medicare pay for the Tdap or not? I was always under the understanding that Medicare does not pay for the Tdap. Ever. Just a TD if there is a injury. Then I came across this:
https://www.cms.gov/medicare-coverag…=AggAAAQBAAAA&
I thought the Tdap was not a Medicare benefit. I am so freaked out. LOL. So it can be billed? Any special way? Modifier?
2. When a (Medicare) patient has a Hep B vaccine due to a lab test showing no immunity does it need to be bill in a certain way? Special modifier?
Thank you so much!
