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.

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.
Strains of influenza B are exclusively contracted by humans, while A can be carried (and spread) by animals, however, both strains are transmitted mainly by respiratory droplets from coughing and contact with an infected person.
Influenza, commonly known as the "flu," is an extremely contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza A or B viruses. Flu appears most frequently in winter and early spring. The flu virus attacks the body by spreading through the upper and/or lower respiratory tract.
There are four types of influenza viruses: A, B, C and D. Human influenza A and B viruses cause seasonal epidemics of disease (known as flu season) almost every winter in the United States.
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.
