The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has authorized a screening benefit for lung cancer using low dose computed tomography (LDCT) scanning. There are two CPT/HCPCS codes associated with this benefit: G0296 for the initial visit and 71271 for the scan and subsequent intervention. The descriptions for these codes are:
Using advanced medical imaging equipment known as a low-dose CT scanner, the MemorialCare radiology team can see a detailed “picture” of your lungs. People who choose to undergo this program first undergo an initial baseline screening CT. No intravenous contrast is given. The scan is generally done in 20-30 seconds.
What are low-dose CT scans? A low-dose CT scan (LDCT) is the medical imaging modality recommended by specialists (such as the US Preventative Task Force) for lung cancer screening. Low-dose CT scans are a computed tomography technique that uses X-rays to create internal images of your body.

The Lower Lobe (Right Lung) The lower lobe is the bottom lobe of the right lung. It lies beneath the oblique fissure. It bears medial, lateral, superior, anterior, and posterior bronchopulmonary segments.
The decision to undertake screening should involve a discussion of its potential benefits, limitations, and harms. If a person decides to be screened, refer them for lung cancer screening with low-dose CT, ideally to a center with experience and expertise in lung cancer screening.
The ACR CT accreditation has approved status from CMS under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) and takes approximately four to six months from start to finish. The ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center program meets the CMS threshold for radiation dose per the final NCD.
According to CMS’s proposed decision, radiologists must meet all of the following criteria: Board-certified or board-eligible with the American Board of Radiology or equivalent organization, with documented training in diagnostic radiology and radiation safety.
Medicare Advantage plans generally must provide coverage of all Medicare-covered services, but they are afforded flexibility in how and what they pay for those services. Based on past precedent, CMS is giving Medicare Advantage plans latitude with respect to coding and billing instructions for lung cancer screening.
