The ICD-10 code to use for flu vaccination is Z23, encounter for immunization. There are many CPT codes to describe influenza vaccine, varying by manufacturer, product and age group.
Use the CPT code for the vaccine administered (90686) and link to the diagnosis code for the immunization. Because qualified counseling occurred for a patient younger than 18 years of age, bill 1 unit of 90460 for administering influenza vaccine. Link to the immunization diagnosis code.
International Classification of Diseases 9th revision (ICD-9) diagnostic codes specific to influenza (487.0, 487.1, and 487.8) are easily retrieved from hospital discharge records.
What is influenza A? Influenza A is a type of virus that causes influenza (the flu), a highly contagious respiratory illness. If you get it, you will need to rest at home and avoid infecting others. Vaccination can protect you against influenza A. The other types of influenza virus are type B and type C.
A novel influenza A virus is one that has caused human infection, but is different from current seasonal human influenza A viruses that circulate among people. Novel influenza A viruses are usually influenza A viruses that circulate among animals.
The CPT® code modifier 59 is used to identify a distinct procedural service. In the context of influenza immunoassay testing, it supports coding CPT® 87400 once for influenza type A and once for influenza type B.
In accordance with the above revision, the CPT Editorial Panel approved a new category I code, 87811, to report infectious agent antigen detection by immunoassay with direct visual observation.
Influenza A is usually the more common form of the virus and tends to circulate early in the season, while influenza B is normally less common and shows up late in the season. This season, influenza B has been more common and is circulating earlier than in previous seasons.
