Clarification........
I 've always billed out a E&M "ONLY" for a repeat pap with the dx of ascus or whatever abnormal pap dx code maybe. I 'm at a new office and they're stating that they bill a 88143 (for the pap) along with the E&M for the pt coming in for a 3-6 month repeat pap. I have no problem billing it out this way IF, it is the correct way. What is your thought on this?
I need clarification/proof (in writting) to show which way is the correct way to code a repeat pap? Does ACOG have any info on this type of visit?
Thank you in advance.
