CCO Admin asked:
I was reviewing CRC questions (Medical Coding Pro - they seem to have mistakes in their book) and came across one that used Z23 twice (used for flu and pneumococcal vaccine). I was taught to not repeat an ICD-10-CM code. I do not see anything in the guidelines.
"Report ICD-10-CM code Z23 once for all vaccinations given during the encounter. When the purpose of the visit is to vaccinate the patient
