Beginning in 2026, providers can bill for vaccine counseling even when no immunization is administered, using new CPT codes 90482–90484 based on time spent counseling. 

AAP News: New codes pave way for payment for immunization counseling when vaccines aren’t administered

To support this change, TriMed is introducing a new Counseling option within the Immunization screen.

This enhancement adds a dedicated Counseling tab where providers can document standalone immunization counseling, select standardized counseling scenarios, capture required ICD-10 codes (including Z71.85 and applicable Z28 “immunization not carried out” reasons), and automatically generate billing on the superbill. The workflow is designed to align with 2026 coding and documentation guidelines, including support for modifier -25 when counseling is billed alongside an E/M visit.

This feature will help practices accurately document counseling conversations, streamline billing, and ensure compliance with upcoming immunization counseling reimbursement rules.
