Thank you for your reply.
I've viewed the link but to be honest, I do not know how I should bill Medicare.
We've been billing Medicare for the administration of the flushot and have been receiving the denial of CO-107: The related or qualifying claim/service was not identifies on this claim.
The CPT code billed was 90471 AQ with diagnosis V048.
When we billed for the exact procedure last year, it was paid by Medicare.
I am not too sure how I can use the information on the link to bill Medicare correctly. Our seasonal flu vaccines are given to us for free from our local hospital.
My guess would be as follows:
A 66 year old patient comes in only to be administered the flu shot.
G0008 $26.84 (This is Medicare's fee for 90471)
Diagnosis: V0481
90654-How do I include this in the claim? I believe this is for the cost of the vaccine. If it is, how do we bill for vaccines that are free.
Again, thank you so much for your reply and I hope I can get more information.
