The new codes will streamline the reporting and reimbursement procedure for physicians and healthcare providers administering the vaccinations and help to report and track immunization and counseling services related to the H1N1 vaccine throughout the healthcare system, according to the release.
Codes were created in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services. Code 90470 was created to report H1N1 immunization administration and counseling. Code 90663 was revised by the CPT Editorial Panel to refer specifically to the H1N1 vaccine product. Both codes are effective immediately.
For reference, the two codes are:
- 90470-H1N1 immunization administration (intramuscular, intranasal), including counseling when performed
- 90663-Influenza virus vaccine, pandemic formulation, H1N1
