On October 10, 2022, The American Medical Association’s (AMA) CPT Panel approved a new vaccine code for the administration of a booster dose of the Novavax vaccine for patients 18 and older. This new code should be reported with CPT 91304 to code for the vaccine administration. As with the other Novavax vaccine codes previously released, this code will become effective once the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).
The code description is:
- CPT Code 0044A – Immunization administration by intramuscular injection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) (coronavirus disease [COVID-19]) vaccine, recombinant spike protein nanoparticle, saponin-based adjuvant, preservative free, 5 mcg/0.5 mL dosage; booster dose
