The American Medical Association worked with the CDC to update its Current Procedural Terminology set to include codes for two COVID-19 vaccines, as well as administration codes for each vaccine. Find specific administration codes here.
The new codes and long descriptors for the vaccines are:
- 91300: COVID-19 vaccine with mRNA-LNP, spike protein, preservative free, 0.3 mL dosage, diluent reconstituted, for intramuscular use
- 91301: COVID-19 vaccine with mRNA-LNP, spike protein, preservative free, 0.5 mL dosage, for intramuscular use
The AMA said the two codes clinically distinguish each vaccine for better tracking, reporting and analysis. The organization released the codes before a vaccine is available so healthcare facilities could promptly update their EHRs.
