Billing CPT 77080, 77081, with covered dx. As an alternative to the guaiac-based fecal occult blood test, (FOBT), reported with CPT-4 code 82270, Medicare also covers screening performed by immunoassay. It is reported to Medicare using HCPCS code G0328 (colorectal cancer screening; fecal occult blood test immunoassay, 1-3 simultaneous).

If the patient meets any of the above criteria, you should list the appropriate risk factor as the primary diagnosis, along with procedure code G0105.

My assumption is that the colonoscopy was a screening, but we can't go off of assumptions. If we are able to use the screening for colon cancer code, that would be much better. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to ask the referring physicians to include on the referral whether or not the colonoscopy was a screening. Code
