I had a question regarding this code. I know that Medicare does not pay for the Zostovax shot, however the patient brought in the vaccine and the doctor just administered the shot. I tried billing Medicare for only the admin portion of it but they denied it. I am thinking because I billed with V05.8. Is there another diagnosis code I could use to bill Medicare for the doctor administering the vaccine for the pt?
I also wanted to know if there is an admin code we could use to bill Medicare when giving the patient a B12 shot?
Thanks
