Clinical & Coding Specifications

Clinical Context

A typical patient is a healthy adolescent or adult aged 7 years or older presenting to an outpatient clinic, community health center, school-based immunization program, pharmacy clinic, or primary care office for routine immunization booster protection against tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). The clinical workflow includes patient identification and verification of immunization history, informed consent and review of contraindications/allergies, screening for recent illnesses or immunosuppressive conditions, administration of the combination vaccine intramuscularly (typically deltoid), documentation of vaccine lot number, manufacturer, and site, provision of a vaccine information statement to the patient, and scheduling of any recommended follow-up or additional vaccines. Billing and coding staff assign 90715 for administration of the combined tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster for patients aged 7 years and older and append applicable modifiers for payer or clinical circumstances.
