Unique CPT Codes Approved For COVID-19 Immunizations

April 13, 2021

The CPT Editorial Panel has approved addition of 11 Category I codes (0001A, 0002A, 0011A, 0012A, 0021A, 0022A, 0031A, 91300, 91301, 91302, 91303), new and revised guidelines and parenthetical notes, and a new Appendix Q.

These CPT codes, developed based on extensive collaboration with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are unique for each of four coronavirus vaccines as well as administration codes unique to each such vaccine and dose. The new CPT codes clinically distinguish each COVID-19 vaccine for better tracking, reporting and analysis that supports data-driven planning and allocation.
