How do you appropriately use the code. I am looking at the book at it says you use it for inoculations and vaccinations. It also says Z23 may be used as a secondary code if the inoculation is given as a routine part of the preventative healthcare such as well baby visit, CODE first routine childhood exam
1. if the patient is only seeing a nurse for a shot then the only codes would be Z23 for both the immunization and the administration
2 if the patient is being seen for a well check then am I understanding it as the immunization and the administration would have the well check code and secondary the Z23.
