Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 the correct code for a collection of specimen for a commercial carrier is 99000. For a Medicare patient, you would charge the patient the amount not covered (preventative minus the pelvic breast exam (G0101) and Q0091 Collection of pap IF they are covered as they are only covered q2y unless high risk). An even better resource of documentation required etc is your medicare carrier manual. Check out www.aCodes.com for great list of references and I would be happy to provide copies of what I have... I have TONS of info on preventative med coding and e/m visit same day etc... -- Merrilee Severino, CPC, CMMMS Physician Practice Management and Revenue Consultants, Corpwww.yourbusinessmedic.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
