What 90460 covers

90460 represents administration of a vaccine or toxoid to a patient through age 18 when a physician or other qualified health care professional provides counseling about the immunization. It applies to any route. Pediatricians, family physicians, and other eligible clinicians commonly report it during well-child or immunization visits when counseling accompanies the dose. The vaccine product is identified separately with its product code.

Select 90460 for the first or only component of each vaccine administered, not for each injection. For a combination vaccine, report 90460 for its first component and 90461 for each additional component; separate single-component vaccines each have their own first component. Documentation should identify the patient's age, the vaccine administered, counseling by the physician or qualified health care professional, and the component count for combination products. The CMS Physician Fee Schedule assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs to this administration service.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

90460 billing questions

When should 90460 be used instead of 90471?

Use 90460 for a patient through age 18 when a physician or qualified health care professional provides immunization counseling. For injectable immunization administration without that counseling, 90471 is the relevant first-administration code.

How are combination vaccines counted?

Report 90460 for the first component of each vaccine and 90461 for each additional component. Count vaccine components, not injections or needle sticks.

Is the vaccine product included in 90460?

No. 90460 represents administration with counseling; report the vaccine product separately using its applicable product code.

What documentation supports 90460?

Document the patient's age, the vaccine administered, and counseling by the physician or qualified health care professional. For a combination vaccine, document enough detail to support the component count.

Can 90460 be used for an oral or nasal vaccine?

Yes, the code applies to any route when its age and counseling criteria are met. Without qualifying counseling, 90473 is the first-administration code for an oral or nasal immunization.

Where these rates come from

Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
