G0124

I recently had a visit from an insurance rep who told me that I should use G0124 ,for screening cytopathology cervical or vaginal collection, along with 99394-99397 for a pap smear that is done in the office. Does anyone know if this is correct or is this a code that the lab should bill?

You are asking two things, I think...

We use 88142- for billing for the lab interpretation of the pap smear to those insurance companies that let us bill for labs. 99394 is the E&M code for the visit itself. It looks like G0124 is the same as our 88142.
As to whether you bill or the lab bills for that service is a contracting issue. I would go ahead and bill it and see what they pay and compare that to what the lab charges you for the service. If you are paid more than you are charged, then go ahead and bill it. If not, let the lab bill it.
