New Current Procedural Terminology (CPT[SUP]?[/SUP]) codes have been created that streamline the novel coronavirus testing currently available on the United States market.
New codes for immunizations
CPT codes have been created for reporting of immunizations for the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19). These CPT codes are unique for each of two coronavirus vaccines as well as administration codes unique to each such vaccine. The new CPT codes clinically distinguish each coronavirus vaccine for better tracking, reporting and analysis that supports data-driven planning and allocation.
Among these is a new code to describe the additional supplies and clinical staff time required to mitigate transmission of respiratory infectious disease while providing evaluation, treatment or procedural services during a public health emergency.
Summary of the SARS-CoV-2 related CPT codes
