Coronavirus Vaccine Update – Billing Codes Just Released
The American Medical Association approved two coronavirus vaccine CPT Codes, 91300 and 91301. Two codes are being used to better track, report, and analyze data for the planning and allocation of vaccines for coronavirus.
Four vaccine administration codes, 0001A, 0002A, 0011A, and 0012A have also been added. These administration codes are specific to each of the two vaccines and whether it is the first or second dose given to the patient.
