Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

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.
