I am confused on this practice question :
93. A two-month-old returns for a well check-up and several shots (Rota, DTaP-HepB-IPV, Pneumococcal PCV13) with her pediatrician. He offers suggestions to the mom, completes the exam, and counsels her on the vaccinations. How should this be coded?

A. 99391-25, 90460, 90461 x 2, 90680, 90723, 90670 |
B. 99381-25, 90471, 90472 x 2, 90474, 90680, 90700, 90648, 90670 |
C. 99381-25, 90471, 90472 x 3, 90680, 90723, 90670 |
D. 99391-25, 90460 x 3, 90461 x 4, 90680, 90723, 90670 The answer is D, but why is it D. Why is 90460 reported X3 and 90461 reported X4. thought there was only three vaccinations given so why are you reporting 4 vaccines? Thank you Christina |
