These CPT codes and descriptors are used to report the actual work of administering the vaccine, in addition to all necessary counseling provided to patients or caregivers and updating the electronic record. Short, medium and long descriptors for all the new vaccine-specific CPT codes can be accessed on the AMA website, along with several other recent modifications to the CPT code set that have helped streamline the public health response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID-19 disease. To help ensure accurate coding and reporting of COVID-19 vaccines and immunization services, the AMA offers a code finder resource to help identify the appropriate CPT code combination for the type and dose of COVID-19 vaccine provided to each patient.Ĭhanges to the CPT code set are considered through an open editorial process managed by the CPT Editorial Panel that collects broad input from the health care community and beyond to ensure CPT content reflects the coding demands of digital health, precision medicine, augmented intelligence, and other aspects of a modern health care system. This rigorous editorial process keeps the CPT code set current with contemporary medical science and technology so it can fulfill its vital role as the trusted language of medicine today and the code to its future. #I doser doses and descriptions series#.See Absorbed dose, Effective dose, Equivalent dose, Genetically significant dose, Imputed dose, Law of infinitesimal dose, Lethal dose, Loading dose, Maintenance dose, Maximum tolerable dose, Median lethal dose, Minimum lethal dose, Occupational dose, Organ dose, Overdose, Pharmacologic dose, Ramped dose, Reference dose, TCID.
