Summary & Overview
CPT 0545F: No Summary Available
CPT code 0545F is a CPT code with no summary available in the source description. As entered, the code lacks a defined clinical narrative; this publication provides a national-level briefing on the code’s presence in billing systems, the payers typically analyzed for national benchmarking, and the types of information readers can expect when standard code metadata are available.
Key payers in scope for national analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. These payers represent major commercial and public coverage sources that commonly appear in reimbursement and claims analyses.
Readers will learn what the code represents when descriptive metadata are available, how service type and site of service are documented for CPT codes, and what standard benchmarks and policy updates usually accompany CPT code reviews. The summary highlights that some elements are missing for 0545F and identifies the typical components of a complete code brief: clinical description, typical sites of service, common modifiers, associated taxonomies, related ICD-10 diagnoses, and payer coverage patterns. The publication also outlines the expected structure of benchmarking and policy context when full metadata are present, enabling stakeholders to interpret this code consistently once complete information becomes available.

Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A typical patient scenario involves an adult presenting for a preventive services visit that includes assessment of immunization status and counseling related to infection prevention. The clinician documents review of immunization history, screening questions, and administration decision-making without administering a vaccine at that encounter. Workflow: patient check-in and vitals, nurse or medical assistant updates immunization record, clinician performs focused history and shared decision-making discussion, documents that counseling occurred and that no vaccine was given, and codes the visit with the appropriate preventive or evaluation CPT and the modifier 25 when a significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service is provided on the same day as other outpatient services. Typical site of service is an outpatient clinic or primary care office. Common patient presentations include vaccine-hesitant adults seeking counseling about influenza, pneumococcal, or COVID-19 vaccination, or patients with scheduling barriers who defer administration after counseling.
Coding Specifications
| Modifier | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
25 | Significant, separately identifiable E/M service by the same physician on the same day of a procedure | Use when counseling/documentation for the preventive visit is distinct from the vaccine-related service or other procedures performed the same day. |
57 | Decision for surgery | Use if the visit includes preoperative decision-making that leads to scheduling an immunization-related procedure (rare for vaccines). |
59 | Distinct procedural service | Use if a separately identifiable non-E/M procedure is performed the same day and documentation supports separate services. |
24 | Unrelated E/M service during a postoperative period | Use when the E/M service is unrelated to a recent procedure and occurs during a global period. |
25 | Significant, separately identifiable E/M service (listed again for emphasis) | See first row. Duplicate entries are not necessary; include 25 when E/M is distinct. |
76 | Repeat procedure by same physician | Use when the counseling session or vaccine administration is repeated on the same day for clinical reasons. |
77 | Repeat procedure by another physician | Use when another physician repeats the counseling or related procedure the same day. |
90 | Reference (outside) laboratory | Use when external lab testing is referenced as part of decision-making for vaccination. |
95 | Synchronous telemedicine service rendered via real-time interactive audio and video | Use when the counseling is provided via live telehealth and billed accordingly. |
GT | Via interactive audio and video telecommunication systems | Use when payer recognizes GT for telehealth counseling visits. |
