What HCPC Codes are used to bill for the administration of the Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine?
The Influenza A (H1N1) virus has been identified as an additional type of influenza. The H1N1 virus vaccine will be provided to Medicare Part B beneficiaries as an additional preventive immunization service. Medicare will pay for the administration of the H1N1 vaccine. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has created two new HCPCS codes for H1N1, effective for dates of service on and after September 1, 2009: • G9141-Influenza A (H1N1) immunization administration (includes the physician counseling the patient/family) • G9142—Influenza A (H1N1) vaccine, any route of administration.
