We have rescheduled our go live with the new immunization form . . . again . . . but have found that it is pushing the flu admin code G0008 for every vaccine given to a medicare patient. It works fine with other patients. We are on EMR 9.8, SP8 and just finished upgrading from CCC 8.3.8 to CCC Basic 1.1 and CCC 9.1 just to make the admin charges work in the first place. We also found that it was pushing the SL modifier codes at all times for Pediarix and shouldn’t be. Has anyone else encountered or found a fix for this? Thanks. Jen

Hi Jen - We found the same thing regarding Medicare. I queried GE and received this reply:
"Can confirm – SPR 63625 - An administration order of Influenza is created by the Immunization Management form when giving Vaccines to Medicare patients.
There is not yet a release date for the bug resolution
SPR – 63781 - Immunization auto-generates G0008 code for all medicare patients regardless of vaccine"
Regarding your comment on the SL modifier for Pediarix...according to the immunization orders flow diagram, the SL modifier is supposed to get added for all VFC pts....are you finding that it is added regardless of VFC pt or not?
We are not using admin orders with immunizations because of the issues.
