When coding an annual wellness exam with a screening pap, do I use CPT® codes G0439 along with G0101?

Yes, if: it's a subsequent annual wellness visit, use G0439. For an Initial use G0438.
The actual description of G0101 is not a screening pap, but a screening pelvic and breast exam, requiring 7 of 11 elements, including the breast exam.

Use Q0091 if you have obtained the screening pap smear.
