Resolved Inpatient Immunizations on Newborn

BEVERLYL_66037

New member
I would like to know if I am to report the 90460 for the newborn's immunization immediately post birth?
90460 with 99460? of course I will use a 25 mod if so.
 
You will find this helpful:
pg 7 Can the IA codes (90460–90461) be reported in the neonatal intensive care unit setting where the independent physician is providing face-to-face counseling and dissemination of information about the vaccine components but the hospital-employed nursing staff is providing the supplies and administering the vaccine? No. Because this situation essentially splits the actual administration (as performed by facility-employed nurses) from the vaccine counseling (as performed by the physician), codes 90460–90461 cannot be reported.
