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

What 90472 covers

90472 represents administration of each additional vaccine after the first intramuscular or subcutaneous vaccine during an encounter. It covers the administration work, not the vaccine product; report the product separately when applicable. Nurses and other clinical staff commonly perform the service in an office or clinic. For pediatric visits, the standard administration codes may be appropriate when the face-to-face physician or qualified health professional counseling circumstance for 90460 and 90461 is not present.

Report 90471 for the first vaccine and 90472 for each additional vaccine administered by the intramuscular or subcutaneous route. Do not count the components of a combination vaccine as separate administrations. Documentation should identify the vaccine products, routes, and which administration was first versus additional. As an add-on, 90472 must be reported with a primary procedure and CMS payment is within that procedure’s global period. Under the CMS incident-to rule, report it only when performed under physician supervision.
