Immunization administration younger than age 8 years (includes intranasal or oral routes of administration) when the physician counsels the patient/family; first administration (single or combination vaccine/toxoid), per day

The CPT® Code 90467 refers to the administration of immunizations for patients who are younger than 8 years old. This code encompasses the delivery of vaccines via intranasal or oral routes, which are methods of administering medication through the nose or mouth, respectively. The procedure includes the essential component of physician counseling directed towards the patient or their family, ensuring that they are informed about the vaccine being administered. This code specifically applies to the first administration of a single vaccine or a combination vaccine/toxoid within a single day. It is important to note that if additional vaccinations are given on the same day, CPT® Code 90468 should be utilized for each subsequent administration. This structured approach to immunization administration is crucial for maintaining accurate medical records and ensuring proper billing practices in pediatric care.
