Can someone explain why you would use procedure code 90461 instead of 90460 for the pneumococcal vaccine in the following example taken from the AAP Coding for Pediatrics 2011 book?
Example: A child was given and counseled on the DTaP-Hib-IPV, rotavirus, and pneumococcal vaccines.
1. 90698 (DTap-Hib-IPV)
-90460
-90461 x 4 units
2. 90480 (Rotavirus)
-90460
3. 90669 (Pneumococcal)
-90461
Thank you for your help!
