Policy Number IMM10012009SC Approved By Vaccination (Immunization) UnitedHealthcare Medicare Committee Current Approval Date 04/08/2015 IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS REIMBURSEMENT POLICY This policy is applicable to UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage Plans offered by UnitedHealthcare and its affiliates. You are responsible for submission of accurate claims. This reimbursement policy is intended to ensure that you are reimbursed based on the code or codes that correctly describe the health care services provided. UnitedHealthcare reimbursement policies use Current Procedural Terminology (CPT *), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), or other coding guidelines. References to CPT or other sources are for definitional purposes only and do not imply any right to reimbursement. This reimbursement policy applies to all health care services billed on CMS 1500 forms and, when specified, to those billed on UB04 forms (CMS 1450). Coding methodology, industry-standard reimbursement logic, regulatory requirements, benefits design and other factors are considered in developing reimbursement policy. This information is intended to serve only as a general resource regarding UnitedHealthcare s reimbursement policy for the services described and is not intended to address every aspect of a reimbursement situation. Accordingly, UnitedHealthcare may use reasonable discretion in interpreting and applying this policy to health care services provided in a particular case. Further, the policy does not address all issues related to reimbursement for health care services provided to UnitedHealthcare enrollees. Other factors affecting reimbursement may supplement, modify or, in some cases, supersede this policy. These factors may include, but are not limited to: legislative mandates, the physician or other provider contracts, and/or the enrollee s benefit coverage documents. Finally, this policy may not be implemented exactly the same way on the different electronic claims processing systems used by UnitedHealthcare due to programming or other constraints; however, UnitedHealthcare strives to minimize these variations. UnitedHealthcare may modify this reimbursement policy at any time by publishing a new version of the policy on this Website. However, the information presented in this policy is accurate and current as of the date of publication. *CPT copyright 2010 (or such other date of publication of CPT) American Medical Association.

This policy applies to all products, all network and non-network physicians, and other health care professionals. The HCPCS/CPT code(s) may be subject to Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edits. This policy does not take precedence over CCI edits. Please refer to the CCI for correct coding guidelines and specific applicable code combinations prior to billing UnitedHealthcare. It is not enough to link the procedure code to a correct, payable ICD-9-CM diagnosis code. The diagnosis must be present for the procedure to be paid. Compliance with the provisions in this policy is subject to monitoring by pre-payment review and/or post-payment data analysis and subsequent medical review.

Summary Overview Immunizations are generally excluded from coverage under Medicare unless they are directly related to the treatment of an injury or direct exposure to a disease or condition, such as anti-rabies treatment or tetanus antitoxin or booster vaccine. In the absence of injury or direct exposure, preventive immunizations (vaccination or inoculation) against such diseases as smallpox, typhoid and polio, are not covered. In cases where a vaccination or inoculation is excluded from coverage, the entire charge will be denied (such as office visits which are primarily for the purpose of administering a non-covered injection). Reimbursement Guidelines Refer to the CPT/HCPCS Codes tables below for Medicare covered (Part B), Medicare non-covered, and Medicare possibly covered (Part D) immunizations.

I thought it was Q: covered for everyone. 1 The CMS sourcing for a list of indications that support payment of the Hepatits B series can be A: found at any of the locations listed in the References section of this policy. Q: Can I charge an administration fee? Yes. Administration fees for vaccines could be handled in the following manner: Before January 1, 2008: When a physician administers a Part D vaccine, the physician should use HCPCS code G0377 (linked to CPT code 90471) to bill the Part B local carrier for the administration fee of the vaccine. 2 A: January 1, 2008 and after: Part D vaccines, including the associated administration costs could be billed on one claim to the beneficiary or to the Part D plan, as stated in the preceding examples. *CMS believes that Part D vaccines, including the associated administration costs, should be billed on one claim for both in- and out-of-network situations. Part D vaccine administration costs are a component of the negotiated price for a Part D-covered vaccine.
