What is the code for a lab to bill?
88142 is code for the lab to bill unless you have an on site pathologist. If this is routine physical then why are you using 616.0? does the patient hav e this condition and is it the reason for the pap? is this a complete physical or a well woman exam. if it is a complete physicial with no complaints the use the V70.0 plus a V76.x code for either cervical or vaginal screening depend upon whether the physician performe a cervical or vag pap. If the physician did a well woman then you code only the V72.31 and add the V76.xx code for vag pap if he performed that one. If the carrier does not pay then it is probable due to patient coverage.
Can you use V76.2 with V72.31?
You do not use the V76.2 with the V72.31. If you look in the code book you will notice that the V76.2 is excluded from the V72.31. The only PAP code you add is if you did a vaginal PAP and not a cervical. I would not use the 88142 with the 0 charge as you are not performing that service.
