COVID-19 Booster and Third Shot Vaccinations – November 2021 Coding Tip

Currently there is no specific device value for the COVID-19 booster and or third COVID-19 vaccination. Assign the sixth character device value “U,” COVID-19 vaccine, when the additional dose is provided to the patient. A proposal for a new ICD-10-PCS code was presented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid at the September 2021 ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee meeting.
