Wiki Billing for half dosage of flu vaccine

[dovejsd]

Greetings!
A Medicare patient came in for a flu vaccine and received half the dosage today. She is coming back in two weeks for the other half. Does anyone know how to code this?
Thanks for your help.

We actually have had several cases just like this at the practice I am at and we bill for the vaccine and administration on the first visit, and just the administration at the second visit. They have been doing it that way for several years here and have never had any problems.

We bill for the full dose at the second injection.
