I had a colposcopy with biopsy performed. The provider who performed the procedure billed 99213, 57454, and 88305 x 2. The pathologist submitted a separate claim for 88305. All conversations I had with the provider on that DOS were related to the colposcopy and what to expect from the procedure. A separately identifiable E&M was not performed. The provider states their billing is correct and the billing of 88305 was for the slide prep. I do not believe this is correct. I believe the correct coding for the physician who performed the colposcopy with biopsy should only be 57454 and the pathologist should be the only provider billing for the 88305 x 2. What is the correct coding for this scenario?
