G0101 Cervical or Vaginal Cancer Screening; Pelvic and Clinic Breast Examination. a. G0101 is reimbursed by Medicare every two years unless the patient is considered high risk, and then it is allowed on an annual basis. You must document a minimum of 7 of the 11 elements.
High-Risk Factors determine whether or not a patient may have the G0101 and Q0091 on an annual basis. If a patient is considered high risk, then these screening tests may be done annually.
Medicare does not cover preventive services, such as an annual (besides the AWV), but certain Well Woman Exam screenings are reimbursed either every two years or annually.
