Influenza CPT vaccine update!

If you only look for CPT updates in January, you just might miss this one. Medicare is now paying for CPT 90682 (influenza virus vaccine, quadrivalent (RIV4), derived from recombinant DNA, hemagglutinin (HA) protein only, preservative and antibiotic free, for intramuscular use) as of July 1, 2017. Claims submitted with the new code and a date of service prior to 7/1 will be returned to the provider. Claims after 8/1 will be paid at the seasonal vaccine rate; dates of service between 7/1 and 7/31 will be paid at carrier discretion. The full MLN Matters can be found here: MM9876
