Hello, My physician is a PCP and does annual paps. We have a patient that had an abnormal pap and had to come back for another pap test. Can I bill for a second pap or is there a code for an abnormal pap smear? Or does it go under an office visit? The first bill was done with an SO612 with a V72.31 Thank you.

You would bill for whatever services were performed, the question really is will it be covered. The first would have been billed as a routine screening pap. The second pap would be billed with the diagnosis indicating abnormal. I believe the G code is used for the routine pap and the cpt 88*** would be used for the abnormal.
