In consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services, the American Medical Association has issued Current Procedural Terminology codes for H1N1 flu vaccine and its administration. Effective immediately, physicians and other health care providers can use code 90663 to report H1N1 flu vaccine product and code 90470 to report H1N1 flu vaccine administration and counseling on claims submitted to public and private health insurers.
The AMA CPT Editorial Panel maintains the CPT code set, which is part of the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System used to report hospital outpatient procedures and physician services.
