ICD-10 requires only one code (Z23) per vaccination, regardless if single or combination. Report Z23 for all vaccination diagnoses.
Z23 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z23 became effective on October 1, 2021.
For immunization administration other than COVID-19, codes 90460–90474 are reported for the administration of the vaccine, along with the appropriate vaccine/toxoid code (90476–90756) targeting the organism.
If the immunization is related to exposure (eg, the administration of a Tdap vaccine as a part of wound care), the ICD-10 code describing the exposure should be used as the primary diagnosis code for the vaccine, and Z23 should be used as the secondary code.
Use HCPCS Level II code M0201 for the additional payment for administering the COVID-19 vaccine to certain Medicare patients in their homes.
