yearly physical

Pt came in for yearly physical, but doc did pap smear too. Can I bill 9939_ w/ V70.0 and V72.31 on the same line or bill separate? PT is HPlus Partners. Thanks!

re: yearly physical

I would use V72.31. I don't think it will make any difference in how the claim processes--does anyone have a different payer experience to share?

It's my understanding there are high and low cost groups. There are two sets of CPT® codes: 15271-15278 and C5271-C5278. The "C" codes show for "low" cost and the other CPT® codes 15271-15278 is for "high" cost. Can you give me an example as to when the C codes should be used? Is it for only ASC and hospital visits?
