Wiki colon screening before the 24 month period

[cmhooten]

I have a patient who last colorectal cancer screening was done on 8/8/2018 however this patient then had a change in bowel habits so the physician did another colonectal screening (both were coded as G0105). I know that it has to be at least 24 months but I though that if the patient became systemic that you could bill a screening, am I incorrect?

The second one would be diagnostic and billed with CPT codes in the 453XX (last 2 digits depend on what is done i.e. bx, snare, etc.) series with the ICD 10 code for the change in bowel habits.
