COVID-19 Vaccine Codes: Updated Effective Date for Moderna
On December 18, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Moderna COVID‑19
Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 for individuals 18 years of
age and older. Review Moderna’s Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers Administering
Vaccine (Vaccination Providers) regarding the limitations of
authorized use. During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency
(PHE), Medicare will cover and pay for the administration of the vaccine
(when furnished consistent with the EUA). Review our updated payment and HCPCS Level I CPT code structure
for specific COVID-19 vaccine information. Only bill for the vaccine
administration codes when you submit claims to Medicare; don’t include the
vaccine product codes when the vaccines are free. Related links:
