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.
Coding & Reimbursement 90662=Inactivated Influenza Vaccine, quadrivalent (IIV4), split virus, preservative free, enhanced immunogenicity via increased antigen content, for intramuscular use.
G0008 administration of influenza virus vaccine.
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.
Report codes 90471-90474 for immunization administration of any vaccine that is not accompanied by face-to-face physician or other qualified health care professional counseling the patient and/or family, or for patients over 18 years of age.
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.
You can charge your patient for the cost of the influenza vaccine. You can't bill Medicare for the vaccine itself.
If you administer an injection of the influenza vaccine only, report 90471. If you administer an influenza vaccine in addition to other vaccines, report the influenza injection with 90472. Note that code 90471 or 90473 cannot be reported in conjunction with 90460.
