The CPT® Code 90707 refers to the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella virus vaccine (MMR), which is administered via subcutaneous injection. This vaccine is designed to provide active, long-term immunity against these three viral infections by introducing altered, non-virulent forms of the viruses into the recipient's body. Unlike immune globulins that offer short-term, passive immunity, vaccines like the MMR stimulate the immune system to produce its own antibodies. This process enables the body to "remember" how to generate these antibodies upon future exposure to the actual viruses, thereby providing protection against the diseases. The MMR vaccine contains live, attenuated viruses, meaning that the viruses have been weakened to the point where they can still provoke an immune response without causing the diseases themselves. The use of this vaccine is crucial in preventing outbreaks of measles, mumps, and rubella, which can lead to serious health complications. It is important to note that this code specifically reports the vaccine product used, distinguishing it from other related vaccines, such as the MMRV vaccine, which also includes protection against the varicella virus (chickenpox).

The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella virus vaccine (MMR) is indicated for the prevention of the following viral infections:
The administration of the MMR vaccine involves several key procedural steps to ensure proper delivery and effectiveness:
After the administration of the MMR vaccine, patients are typically monitored for a short period to observe for any immediate adverse reactions, such as allergic responses. It is common for individuals to experience mild side effects, including soreness at the injection site, low-grade fever, or a rash. Patients are advised to report any unusual symptoms or reactions to their healthcare provider. Additionally, it is important for patients to receive follow-up vaccinations as recommended to ensure full immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella. Documentation of the vaccination should be maintained for future reference, especially for school or travel requirements.

| JZ | Zero drug amount discarded/not administered to any patient | 25 | Significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician or other qualified health care professional on the same day of the procedure or other service: it may be necessary to indicate that on the day a procedure or service identified by a cpt code was performed, the patient's condition required a significant, separately identifiable e/m service above and beyond the other service provided or beyond the usual preoperative and postoperative care associated with the procedure that was performed. a significant, separately identifiable e/m service is defined or substantiated by documentation that satisfies the relevant criteria for the respective e/m service to be reported (see evaluation and management services guidelines for instructions on determining level of e/m service). the e/m service may be prompted by the symptom or condition for which the procedure and/or service was provided. as such, different diagnoses are not required for reporting of the e/m services on the same date. this circumstance may be reported by adding modifier 25 to the appropriate level of e/m service. note: this modifier is not used to report an e/m service that resulted in a decision to perform surgery. see modifier 57 for significant, separately identifiable non-e/m services, see modifier 59. | 59 | Distinct procedural service: under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to indicate that a procedure or service was distinct or independent from other non-e/m services performed on the same day. modifier 59 is used to identify procedures/services, other than e/m services, that are not normally reported together, but are appropriate under the circumstances. documentation must support a different session, different procedure or surgery, different site or organ system, separate incision/excision, separate lesion, or separate injury (or area of injury in extensive injuries) not ordinarily encountered or performed on the same day by the same individual. however, when another already established modifier is appropriate it should be used rather than modifier 59. only if no more descriptive modifier is available, and the use of modifier 59 best explains the circumstances, should modifier 59 be used. note: modifier 59 should not be appended to an e/m service. to report a separate and distinct e/m service with a non-e/m service performed on the same date, see modifier 25. | CC | Procedure code change (use 'cc' when the procedure code submitted was changed either for administrative reasons or because an incorrect code was filed) | CR | Catastrophe/disaster related | GA | Waiver of liability statement issued as required by payer policy, individual case | GC | This service has been performed in part by a resident under the direction of a teaching physician | GX | Notice of liability issued, voluntary under payer policy | GY | Item or service statutorily excluded, does not meet the definition of any medicare benefit or, for non-medicare insurers, is not a contract benefit | GZ | Item or service expected to be denied as not reasonable and necessary | JG | Drug or biological acquired with 340b drug pricing program discount, reported for informational purposes | SL | State supplied vaccine | UC | Medicaid level of care 12, as defined by each state | X1 | Continuous/broad services: for reporting services by clinicians, who provide the principal care for a patient, with no planned endpoint of the relationship; services in this category represent comprehensive care, dealing with the entire scope of patient problems, either directly or in a care coordination role; reporting clinician service examples include, but are not limited to: primary care, and clinicians providing comprehensive care to patients in addition to specialty care |
