Q0091 for screening pap, G0101 for screeninig for breast/pelvic. Use V72.31. V76.2 V76.47 or V76.49 or V15.89 if patient is high risk.
This is per Medicare's Quick Reference for Preventive Services.

And this is all part of the Affordable Care act...correct?

Not exactly. Screening Pap/pelvic services were covered before ACA, annually for high-risk, and every two years otherwise.
Another Medicare question, do pt's with a medicare replacement plan qualify for the welcome to medicare visits?
