Setting up Immunizations Tasks to Streamline Vaccine Billing

To streamline vaccine billing as you complete various Immunizations tasks, ensure that billing administrators and appropriate clinical staff set up your NDC ID codes and SIM codes appropriately. Set up and map Custom SIM Codes for Immunizations Billing Set up Vaccine Billing Administration codes. Before you set up the vaccine inventory, select your practice’s default NDC Library and set up the NDC Library. Note: This enables the system to display the NDC details in the NDC Lookup when you add or update the vaccine inventory; or when you administer Immunizations in the Immunizations module. For accurate billing of alternate Medicare billing codes of certain Flu vaccines, your billing administrators also need to set up the NDC ID codes in the NDC Library. If you administer VFC Immunizations to VFC-eligible patients in your practice, for VFC billing purposes, you can configure unique custom SIM codes for the VFC and non-VFC patients for each location.
