How should flu vaccine be billed since the implementation of OPPS?
There is no change in the billing of the flu vaccine. According to addendum B. found in the most recent Federal Register, the status indicator for the flu vaccine is a ‘L’ (Influenza Vaccine, Pneumococcal Pneumonia Vaccine). Payment is based on reasonable cost, not subject to deductible or coinsurance. Reference: Addendum D1.
