Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

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.
