Z12. 11: Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of the colon.
Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is reported for screening mammograms while Z12. 39 (Encounter for other screening for malignant neoplasm of breast) has been established for reporting screening studies for breast cancer outside the scope of mammograms.
Z13. 820 Encounter for screening for osteoporosis - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
The patient’s chronic conditions may also be added to the claim form, if addressed. Q0091 is for obtaining a screening not a diagnostic pap smear. There is no separate code for obtaining a diagnostic pap smear. 99000, obtaining a lab specimen, is bundled by Medicare and many other payers.
Q0091 is defined as: Screening Papanicolaou smear; obtaining, preparing and conveyance of cervical or vaginal smear to laboratory.
G0101 (screening breast and pelvic exam) and Q0091 (obtaining a screening pap smear) may each be billed every two years for low risk patient and every year for high risk patients.
That exam is part of the E/M service. There is no code for a breast exam only. G0101 may be billed on the same date as an Evaluation and Management service (office visit, for example) or wellness visit, but in that case, use modifier 25 on the office visit/wellness visit.
As shown in Table C, codes 77046 and 77047 are reported for breast MRI without contrast.
Contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) may be also be ordered. A CEDM is a mammogram that uses iodinated contrast dye. This dye makes it easier to find new blood vessels that develop when cancers grow. CEDMs find breast cancers that can’t be seen on regular mammograms, especially in women with dense breasts.
Screening mammography is performed for a person without signs or symptoms of breast disease. Diagnostic mammography is performed for a person with signs or symptoms of breast disease, a personal history of breast cancer, or a personal history of biopsy.
When mammography reveals an abnormal finding, a breast ultrasound may be used during a needle biopsy or as a follow-up test. A breast ultrasound alone is not considered a good breast cancer screening tool.
