What G0101 covers

G0101 covers the hands-on pelvic and clinical breast examination furnished under Medicare's cervical and vaginal cancer screening benefit. Gynecologists, family physicians, internists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified nurse-midwives commonly perform it in office settings. The exam may occur during a well-woman appointment or alongside a Medicare annual wellness visit. Obtaining a screening Pap specimen is reported separately with Q0091 when that service is performed.

Medicare covers the screening exam every 24 months for most beneficiaries and every 12 months for patients at high risk for cervical or vaginal cancer, or of childbearing age with an abnormal Pap result in the preceding 3 years. Document the clinical breast exam and at least 7 of CMS's 11 specified examination elements, which include the breast, pelvic structures, anus and perineum, and digital rectal exam. The record and diagnosis coding should support screening intent and any claimed annual eligibility. The Part B deductible and coinsurance are waived for this screening service.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

G0101 billing questions

How is this code billed alongside a preventive visit such as 99397 for a Medicare patient?

Traditional Medicare does not cover the routine preventive medicine visit described by 99397. Report G0101 for the eligible screening pelvic and breast exam, and Q0091 if a screening Pap specimen is collected; avoid counting those services twice in any separately billed visit.

Does this code include obtaining the Pap smear?

No. Collecting and conveying the screening Pap specimen to the laboratory is reported separately with Q0091. Screening cytology is a separate laboratory service.

What documentation supports the exam?

The record should document the clinical breast exam and at least 7 of the 11 CMS-listed examination elements. It should also support screening intent and any high-risk status used for annual eligibility.

Can a problem-oriented E/M be billed on the same date?

Yes, if the clinician performs a significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management of a problem beyond the screening exam. Append modifier 25 to the E/M code, and do not count the screening work toward that service.

When does the annual frequency apply instead of every 24 months?

The 12-month interval applies with documented high-risk factors for cervical or vaginal cancer, or when a patient of childbearing age had an abnormal Pap result in the preceding 3 years. The claim should include a diagnosis supporting the qualifying status.

Can it be billed for a patient who has had a hysterectomy?

Yes, when an eligible screening pelvic and breast exam is performed, including screening for vaginal cancer after hysterectomy. The applicable screening interval still governs coverage.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
