ICD-10 requires only one code (Z23) per vaccination, regardless if single or combination. Report Z23 for all vaccination diagnoses.
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. If the immunization is given during a routine preventive health care examination, Code Z23 would be a secondary code.
a vaccinationInterestingly, unlike many codes, vaccinations do not get more complicated in ICD-10. Code Z23 is used to indicate any encounter for a vaccination. The procedure codes are used to identify the type of the immunization given and how it was administered.Nov 24, 2020
Coding: Bill with 90471 only (If another vaccine is given at the same visit, code the administration fee for the second injection with 90472.) When billing for multiple vaccine administrations, you can either report administration add-on codes per line or report as multiple units on one line.
The code Z71. 89 describes a circumstance which influences the patient's health status but not a current illness or injury. The code is unacceptable as a principal diagnosis.
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.
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.
Z23 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of encounter for immunization.

If both injectable and oral/intra-nasal vaccines are performed during the same visit, providers should report 90471 as the initial administration code. Codes 90471 – 90472 have a slightly higher reimbursement than oral/intra-nasal administration.Jul 26, 2021
