AMA Adds 5 New RSV Immunization Codes to the CPT List

The CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) has introduced five new product-specific codes for reporting Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) immunizations.

The 5 new codes are:
90380
90381
90683
90679
90678

By introducing these codes, the tracking, reporting, and analysis of RSV immunizations will be notably enhanced. This means clearer data, more efficient billing, and improved medical documentation.
