Use of 12X Type of Bill (TOB) for Billing Vaccines and Their Administration
Currently, when vaccines are provided to hospital
inpatients, the hospital bills on a 13x TOB using the discharge date of the hospital stay.
This requirement is being changed to require hospitals to use 12x TOB for the billing of
vaccines and their administration when provided to hospital inpatients. In addition, this
instruction allows Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System G0008, G0009, and
G0010 to be reported with revenue code 771 on a 12x TOB.
