Article GuidanceArticle Text Abstract: This article represents local instructions for CMS National Coverage Policy (CMS Publication 100-03, Medicare National Coverage Determinations (NCD) Manual, Chapter 1, Section 210.3). All italicized text is quoted verbatim from CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Sections 60-60.3 unless otherwise noted. Effective for services furnished on or after January 1, 1998, payment may be made for colorectal cancer screening for the early detection of cancer. For screening colonoscopy services (one of the types of services included in this benefit) prior to July 2001, coverage was limited to high-risk individuals. For services July 1, 2001, and later, screening colonoscopies are covered for individuals not at high risk. The following services are considered colorectal cancer screening services:
Effective for services on or after January 1, 2004, payment may be made for the following colorectal cancer screening service as an alternative for the guaiac-based FOBT, 1-3 simultaneous determinations:
Effective for claims with dates of service on or after October 9, 2014, payment may be made for colorectal cancer screening using the Cologuard™ multitarget stool DNA (sDNA) test:
(See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60)
(See CMS Publication 100-03,National Coverage Determination (NCD) 210.3 -Screening for Colorectal Cancer) Indications and Limitations: HCPCS G0104 - Colorectal Cancer Screening; Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Screening flexible sigmoidoscopies (HCPCS G0104) may be paid for beneficiaries who have attained age 50, when performed by a doctor of medicine or osteopathy at the frequencies noted below. For claims with dates of service on or after January 1, 2002, contractors or carriers pay for screening flexible sigmoidoscopies (HCPCS G0104) for beneficiaries who have attained age 50 when these services were performed by a doctor of medicine or osteopathy, or by a physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist (as defined in §1861(aa) (5) of the Social Security Act (the Act) and in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 42 CFR 410.74, 410.75, and 410.76) at the frequencies noted. For claims with dates of service prior to January 1, 2002, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) pay for these services under the conditions noted only when a doctor of medicine or osteopathy performs them. For services furnished from January 1, 1998, through June 30, 2001, inclusive:
For services furnished on or after July 1, 2001:
NOTE: If during the course of a screening flexible sigmoidoscopy a lesion or growth is detected which results in a biopsy or removal of the growth; the appropriate diagnostic procedure classified as a flexible sigmoidoscopy with biopsy or removal along with modifier –PT should be billed and paid rather than HCPCS G0104. (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) HCPCS G0105 - Colorectal Cancer Screening; Colonoscopy on Individual at High Risk Screening colonoscopies (HCPCS G0105) may be paid when performed by a doctor of medicine or osteopathy at a frequency of once every 24 months for beneficiaries at high risk for developing colorectal cancer (i.e., at least 23 months have passed following the month in which the last covered HCPCS G0105 screening colonoscopy was performed). (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) Characteristics of the High Risk Individual: An individual at high risk for developing colorectal cancer has one or more of the following:
(See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.3) NOTE: If during the course of the screening colonoscopy, a lesion or growth is detected which results in a biopsy or removal of the growth, the appropriate diagnostic procedure classified as a colonoscopy with biopsy or removal along with modifier –PT should be billed and paid rather than HCPCS G0105. (CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) When a covered colonoscopy is attempted but cannot be completed because of extenuating circumstances, Medicare will pay for the interrupted colonoscopy as long as the coverage conditions are met for the incomplete procedure. (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2(A)(1) for additional information.) (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) HCPCS G0106 - Colorectal Cancer Screening; Barium Enema; as an Alternative to HCPCS G0104, Screening Sigmoidoscopy Screening barium enema examinations may be paid as an alternative to a screening sigmoidoscopy (HCPCS G0104). The same frequency parameters for screening sigmoidoscopies (see those codes above) apply. In the case of an individual aged 50 or over, payment may be made for a screening barium enema examination (HCPCS G0106) performed after at least 47 months have passed following the month in which the last screening barium enema or screening flexible sigmoidoscopy was performed. For example, the beneficiary received a screening barium enema examination as an alternative to a screening flexible sigmoidoscopy in January 1999. Start counts beginning February 1999. The beneficiary is eligible for another screening barium enema in January 2003. The screening barium enema must be ordered in writing after a determination that the test is the appropriate screening test. Generally, it is expected that this will be a screening double contrast enema unless the individual is unable to withstand such an exam. This means that in the case of a particular individual, the attending physician must determine that the estimated screening potential for the barium enema is equal to or greater than the screening potential that has been estimated for a screening flexible sigmoidoscopy for the same individual. The screening single contrast barium enema also requires a written order from the beneficiary’s attending physician in the same manner as described above for the screening double contrast barium enema examination. (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) CPT 82270* HCPCS G0107* - Colorectal Cancer Screening; Fecal-Occult Blood Test, 1-3 Simultaneous Determinations Effective for services furnished on or after January 1, 1998, screening FOBT [fecal-occult blood test] (CPT 82270*) (HCPCS G0107*) may be paid for beneficiaries who have attained age 50, and at a frequency of once every 12 months (i.e., at least 11 months have passed following the month in which the last covered screening FOBT was performed). This screening FOBT means a guaiac-based test for peroxidase activity, in which the beneficiary completes it by taking samples from two different sites of three consecutive stools. This screening requires a written order from the beneficiary’s attending physician. (The term “attending physician” is defined to mean a doctor of medicine or osteopathy (as defined in §1861(r)(1) of the Act) who is fully knowledgeable about the beneficiary’s medical condition, and who would be responsible for using the results of any examination performed in the overall management of the beneficiary’s specific medical problem.) Effective for services furnished on or after January 1, 2004, payment may be made for an immunoassay-based FOBT (HCPCS G0328, described below) as an alternative to the guaiac-based FOBT, CPT 82270* (HCPCS G0107*). Medicare will pay for only one covered FOBT per year, either CPT 82270* (HCPCS G0107*) or HCPCS G0328, but not both. *NOTE: For claims with dates of service prior to January 1, 2007, physicians, suppliers, and providers report HCPCS G0107. Effective January 1, 2007, HCPCS G0107 is discontinued and replaced with CPT 82270. (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) HCPCS G0328 - Colorectal Cancer Screening; Immunoassay, Fecal-Occult Blood Test, 1-3 Simultaneous Determinations Effective for services furnished on or after January 1, 2004, screening FOBT, (HCPCS G0328) may be paid as an alternative to CPT 82270* (HCPCS G0107*) for beneficiaries who have attained age 50. Medicare will pay for a covered FOBT (either CPT 82270* (HCPCS G0107*) or HCPCS G0328, but not both) at a frequency of once every 12 months (i.e., at least 11 months have passed following the month in which the last covered screening FOBT was performed). Screening FOBT, immunoassay, includes the use of a spatula to collect the appropriate number of samples or the use of a special brush for the collection of samples, as determined by the individual manufacturer’s instructions. This screening requires a written order from the beneficiary’s attending physician, or effective for dates of service on or after January 27, 2014, the beneficiary’s attending physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist. (The term “attending physician” is defined to mean a doctor of medicine or osteopathy (as defined in §1861(r)(1) of the Act) who is fully knowledgeable about the beneficiary’s medical condition, and who would be responsible for using the results of any examination performed in the overall management of the beneficiary’s specific medical problem.) (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) HCPCS G0120 - Colorectal Cancer Screening; Barium Enema; as an Alternative to HCPCS G0105, Screening Colonoscopy Screening barium enema examinations may be paid as an alternative to a screening colonoscopy (HCPCS G0105) examination. The same frequency parameters for screening colonoscopies (see those codes above) apply. In the case of an individual who is at high risk for colorectal cancer, payment may be made for a screening barium enema examination (HCPCS G0120) performed after at least 23 months have passed following the month in which the last screening barium enema or the last screening colonoscopy was performed. For example, a beneficiary at high risk for developing colorectal cancer received a screening colonoscopy barium enema examination (HCPCS G0120) as an alternative to a screening colonoscopy (HCPCS G0105) in January 2000. Start counts beginning February 2000. The beneficiary is eligible for another screening barium enema examination (HCPCS G0120) in January 2002. The screening barium enema must be ordered in writing after a determination that the test is the appropriate screening test. Generally, it is expected that this will be a screening double contrast enema unless the individual is unable to withstand such an exam. This means that in the case of a particular individual, the attending physician must determine that the estimated screening potential for the barium enema is equal to or greater than the screening potential that has been estimated for a screening colonoscopy, for the same individual. The screening single contrast barium enema also requires a written order from the beneficiary’s attending physician in the same manner as described above for the screening double contrast barium enema examination. (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) HCPCS G0121 - Colorectal Screening; Colonoscopy on Individual Not Meeting Criteria for High Risk - Applicable On and After July 1, 2001 Effective for services furnished on or after July 1, 2001, screening colonoscopies (HCPCS G0121) performed on individuals not meeting the criteria for being at high risk for developing colorectal cancer may be paid under the following conditions:
NOTE: If during the course of the screening colonoscopy, a lesion or growth is detected which results in a biopsy or removal of the growth, the appropriate diagnostic procedure classified as a colonoscopy with biopsy or removal along with modifier –PT should be billed and paid rather than HCPCS G0121 (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) HCPCS G0464 (Replaced with CPT 81528) - Multitarget Stool DNA (sDNA) Colorectal Cancer Screening Test - CologuardTM Effective for dates of service on or after October 9, 2014, colorectal cancer screening using the CologuardTM multitarget sDNA test (G0464/81528) is covered once every 3 years for Medicare beneficiaries that meet all of the following criteria:
See Pub. 100-03, Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual, Chapter 1, Section 210.3, for complete coverage requirements. (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2) Frequency limits for colorectal screening examinations are determined by CMS national policy. Although fecal occult blood screening (HCPCS 82270/G0107 and G0328) is allowed annually, the frequency for all other examinations depends on whether the individual is or is not considered at high risk for colorectal cancer. G0327 (Colorectal cancer screening; blood-based biomarker) Effective for dates of service on or after January 19, 2021, a blood-based biomarker test is covered as an appropriate colorectal cancer screening test once every 3 years for Medicare beneficiaries when performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified laboratory, when ordered by a treating physician and when all of the following requirements are met: The patient is:
The blood-based biomarker screening test must have all of the following:
Coding Information: Procedure codes may be subject to National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits or OPPS packaging edits. Refer to NCCI and OPPS requirements prior to billing Medicare. For services requiring a referring/ordering physician, the name and NPI of the referring/ordering physician must be reported on the claim. A claim submitted without a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code will be returned to the provider as an incomplete claim under Section 1833(e) of the Social Security Act. Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) Modifier GuidelinesAn ABN may be used for services which are likely to be non-covered, whether for medical necessity or for other reasons. Refer to CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 30, for complete instructions. When a covered colonoscopy is attempted but cannot be completed because of extenuating circumstances, Medicare will pay for the interrupted colonoscopy as long as the coverage conditions are met for the incomplete procedure. However, the frequency standards associated with screening colonoscopies will not be applied by the common working file (CWF). When a covered colonoscopy is next attempted and completed, Medicare will pay for that colonoscopy according to its payment methodology for this procedure as long as coverage conditions are met, and the frequency standards will be applied by CWF. This policy is applied to both screening and diagnostic colonoscopies. When submitting a facility claim for the interrupted colonoscopy, providers are to suffix the colonoscopy. Use of HCPCS codes with a modifier of “–73” or” –74” is appropriate to indicate that the procedure was interrupted. Payment for covered incomplete screening colonoscopies shall be consistent with payment methodologies currently in place for complete screening colonoscopies, including those contained in 42 CFR 419.44(b). In situations where a critical access hospital (CAH) has elected payment Method II for CAH patients, payment shall be consistent with payment methodologies currently in place … As such, CAHs that elect Method II payment [should] use modifier “–53” to identify an incomplete screening colonoscopy (physician professional service(s) billed in revenue code 096X, 097X, and/or 098X). Such CAHs will also bill the technical or facility component of the interrupted colonoscopy in revenue code 075X (or other appropriate revenue code) using the “-73” or “-74” modifier as appropriate. Note that Medicare would expect the provider to maintain adequate information in the patient’s medical record in case it is needed by the contractor to document the incomplete procedure. (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.2)HCPCS code G0122 (colorectal cancer screening; barium enema) should be used when a screening barium enema is performed not as an alternative to either a screening colonoscopy (code G0105) or a screening flexible sigmoidoscopy (code G0104). This service should be denied as noncovered because it fails to meet the requirements of the benefit. The beneficiary is liable for payment. (See CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.5) Effective for claims with dates of service on or after January 19, 2021, providers shall report at least ONE of the following diagnosis codes when submitting claims for the Blood-based Biomarker test HCPCS G0327: Z12.11 Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of colon, OR, Z12.12 Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of rectum The following table published in CMS Program Memorandum, Transmittal AB-03-033, Change Request #2580, February 28, 2003: Promoting Colorectal Cancer Screening as a part of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month Medicare Coverage and Procedure Codes provides a synopsis of CMS National Coverage Policy discussed in this article The table was updated with coverage of HCPCS code G0328 effective January 1, 2004.
Effective January 1, 2018, anesthesia services furnished in conjunction with and in support of a screening colonoscopy are reported with CPT code 00812 and coinsurance and deductible are waived. When a screening colonoscopy becomes a diagnostic colonoscopy, anesthesia services are reported with CPT code 00811 and with the PT modifier; only the deductible is waived. Effective January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017, anesthesia professionals who furnish a separately payable anesthesia service (CPT code 00810) in conjunction with a screening colonoscopy shall include the following on the claim for the services that qualify for the waiver of coinsurance and deductible:
Effective January 1, 2018, coinsurance and deductible are waived for moderate sedation services (reported with G0500 or 99153) when furnished in conjunction with and in support of a screening colonoscopy service and when reported with modifier 33. When a screening colonoscopy becomes a diagnostic colonoscopy, moderate sedation services (G0500 or 99153) are reported with only the PT modifier; only the deductible is waived. The Affordable Care Act waives the Part B deductible for colorectal cancer screening tests that become diagnostic. The Medicare policy is that the deductible is waived for all surgical procedures (Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code range of 10000 to 69999) furnished on the same date and in the same encounter as a colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or barium enema that were initiated as colorectal cancer screening services. A modifier “PT” has been created effective January 1, 2011 which providers and practitioners should append to a least one CPT code in the surgical range of 10000 to 69999 on a claim for services furnished in this scenario. For claims submitted to the Part A MAC: Claims for colorectal cancer screening tests may be submitted for bill types 12X, 13X, 22X, 23X, 83X, 85X (CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.6). Effective April 1, 2006, CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Transmittal 821, Change Request #4272, February 1, 2006, requires fiscal intermediaries (FIs) to allow colorectal cancer screening HCPCS 82270 and G0328 to be billed on TOB 14X for non-patient laboratory specimens. Claims for bill types other than 22X or 23X should be submitted using the following revenue codes: 030X for 82270, G0328; 032X for G0106, G0120, G0122 (CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.6); and 036X, 049X, 519, 075X, or 076X (for G0104, G0105, G0121). Claims for bill types 22X or 23X should be submitted using the following revenue codes: 030X for 82270, G0328; 032X for G0106; and 075X for G0104 (CMS Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18, Section 60.6). Effective January 19, 2021, a blood-based biomarker test is covered as an appropriate colorectal cancer screening test. Claims may be submitted with Revenue code 030X, and bill types 13X, 14X or 85X. For claims submitted to the Part B MAC: When performing a screening rather than a diagnostic sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy through a stoma, use CPT code 44799 (Unlisted procedure, intestine). It should be entered in Item 19 of the CMS-1500 claim form or the electronic equivalent, whether the examination is more similar to a screening sigmoidoscopy or screening colonoscopy. Modifier QW should be appended to HCPCS code G0328 to indicate a CLIA waived test. What is the ICD 10 code for routine colonoscopy?Procedure code: G0121 (Average risk screening) or 45378-33 (Diagnostic colonoscopy with modifier 33 indicating this is a preventive service). Diagnosis code: V76.
How do you code a screening colonoscopy?For commercial and Medicaid patients, report CPT® code 45378 Colonoscopy, flexible; diagnostic, including collection of specimens(s) by brushing or washing, when performed (separate procedure).
Do you use Z12 11 on surveillance colonoscopy?There are 2 different sets of screening colonoscopy codes:
There are payors that accept the Z12. 11 (encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of colon) in the first coding position, while other payors either require this diagnosis in a subsequent position behind family history codes or prefer to see the Z12.
When should Z12 11 be used?If a patient has had previous removal of colon polyps a few years ago and is now presenting for surveillance colonoscopy to look for any additional polyps or recurrence of the polyp this is coded with Z12. 11, Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of colon as the first listed code.
