The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensed the first pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7 or Prevnar®) in 2000. That same year, the United States began using PCV7 routinely in children. It provided protection against infections caused by 7 types (serotypes) of pneumococcal bacteria.
FDA licensed the first pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in 2000. A large clinical trial showed PCV7 reduced invasive disease caused by vaccine serotypes by 97%. Compared to unvaccinated children, children who received PCV7: Had 20% fewer episodes of chest X-ray confirmed pneumonia.
The CPT codes for the pneumococcal vaccine are 90669 and 90732. There are four codes for flu vaccine: 90657, 90658, 90659 and 90660.
The CPT code for PNEUMOVAX 23 is 90732. This CPT code is effective as of January 2017 as set forth in the Current Procedural Terminology 2017.
Examples include Haemophilus Influenza Conjugate Vaccine (Hib) and Pneumoccocal Conjugate Vaccine (Prevnar®).
The serotypes are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 8, 9N, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 17F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 20, 22F, 23F, and 33F. PPSV23 is administered by either intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Each dose of PPSV23 contains phenol as a preservative. It contains no adjuvant or antibiotic.
The ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes pneumonia vaccine prophylaxis is V03. 82 Pneumococcal prophylaxis. In ICD-10 (scheduled for implementation Oct. 1, 2015), all immunization encounters will have Z23 Encounter for immunization as the primary diagnosis; procedure codes will identify the type(s) of immunizations given.
G0009 administration of pneumococcal vaccine.
Coding adult PCV13 . For fee-for-service exempt Medicaid (not SALUD) program, use only the CPT code for the vaccine CPT 90670 (90670-SL for Medicare) and enter the usual charge using CPT 90460 for vaccine administration. Use ICD9 diagnosis code V03. 82 for PCV13 vaccine and administration.
Do Medicare prescription drug plans cover Pneumovax 23? No. In general, Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D) do not cover this drug.
90686=Inactivated Influenza Vaccine, quadrivalent (IIV4), split virus, preservative free, 0.5-mL dosage, for intramuscular use.
90471: Immunization administration for percutaneous, intra-dermal, subcutaneous or intramuscular injections, initial.
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine helps protect against bacteria that cause pneumococcal disease. There are three pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV13, PCV15, and PCV20). The different vaccines are recommended for different people based on their age and medical status.
PCV13 vaccine PCV13 protects against 13 types of bacteria that cause pneumococcal disease. Infants and young children usually need 4 doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, at ages 2, 4, 6, and 12–15 months. Older children (through age 59 months) may be vaccinated if they did not receive the recommended doses.
The recommended interval is at least 1 year. The minimum interval is 8 weeks and can be considered in adults with an immunocompromising condition*, cochlear implant, or cerebrospinal fluid leak. Their pneumococcal vaccinations are complete. You may administer one dose of PCV15 or PCV20.
PCV13 (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) protects against 13 of the approximately 90 types of pneumococcal bacteria that can cause pneumococcal disease, including pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia. PPSV23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine) protects against 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria.
