The tetanus vaccine can prevent tetanus but its protection does not last forever. Adults should get a tetanus shot, or booster, every 10 years. If you get a bad cut or burn, see your doctor--you may need a booster. ICD-10-CM A35 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v 38.0): 791 Prematurity with major problems

The Z23 code includes the following note: “Code first any routine childhood examination.” Therefore, when you provide immunizations in conjunction with a well-child visit, a code for routine child health examination should be reported first, followed by Z23 for any immunizations. This is similar to ICD-9 rules.
Inoculations and Vaccinations ICD-10-CM Coding Code Z23, which is used to identify encounters for inoculations and vaccinations, indicates that a patient is being seen to receive a prophylactic inoculation against a disease.
For the TDAP vaccine, report CPT code 90715 (pays approximately $31).
“Routine” diagnosis codes are considered Preventive. For example: ICD-10-CM codes Z00. 121, Z00. 129, Z00.
ICD-10-CM Description According to ICD-10-CM guidelines, clinicians may assign code Z28. 310, “Unvaccinated for COVID-19,” when the patient has not received a dose of any COVID-19 vaccine. Clinicians may assign code Z28.
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.

Medicare Part B pays for several vaccines to help prevent disease. This includes the tetanus vaccination, but it does not pay for a Tdap tetanus booster. Medicare Part D, the prescription drug plan, does cover the Tdap vaccine, and it also pays for most commercially available vaccines to prevent illness.

Abstract Tetanus is a neurologic syndrome caused by a neurotoxin elaborated at the site of injury by Clostridium tetani. Nearly all cases of tetanus occur in nonimmunized or inadequately immunized individuals.

A35 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other tetanus. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
In the most common type the spasms begin in the jaw and then progress to the rest of the body. These spasms usually last a few minutes each time and occur frequently for three to four weeks.
The ICD code A35 is used to code Tetanus. Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is an infection characterized by muscle spasms. In the most common type the spasms begin in the jaw and then progress to the rest of the body. These spasms usually last a few minutes each time and occur frequently for three to four weeks.
Aetna considers the Tdap vaccine a medically necessary preventive service for immunization against tetanus, diptheria, and pertussis as a single dose in children 7 through 10 years of age with incomplete or unknown pertussis vaccine history.
There was no difference in GMCs for pertussis-specific IgG in maternal delivery or infant cord sera for women immunized before (n = 86) or during (n = 19) early pregnancy. Placental transport of antibodies was 121 % to 186 % from mothers immunized before and during pregnancy, respectively.
Aetna considers combination vaccination with diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis ( DTaP), inactivated polio, ...
The lower-case “d” and “p” in Td and Tdap means these vaccines use smaller (reduced) doses of diphtheria and pertussis. The “a” in DTaP and Tdap stands for “acellular,” meaning that the pertussis component contains only parts of the bacteria instead of the whole bacteria (CDC, 2020).
If the wound is less than 24 hours old and is not a "extensively contaminated" wound and your provider did not inject the J1670, then you would bill the E&M with modifier 25, CPT 90703 for Tetanus toxoid adsorbed, for intramuscular use, and the administration CPT 90471.
J1670 is injection of tetanus immune globulin (TIG), human, up to 250 units but this may not be needed if wound <24 hours old. Tetanus immune globulin provides a passive immunity for injuries that are over 24 hours old, for injuries that are extensively contaminated, and for clients who have had fewer than 2 tetanus toxoid injections in a lifetime. ...
