What 57465 covers
This add-on captures computer-aided mapping performed during colposcopic evaluation of the cervix. It supplements the clinician’s examination by documenting the location of cervical findings identified during the procedure. Gynecologists typically perform it while evaluating patients with abnormal cervical screening results or other indications for colposcopy; the mapping accompanies, rather than replaces, the colposcopic examination and any biopsy or treatment performed.
Report 57465 only with an eligible primary colposcopy procedure, not as a standalone service. The record should support that computer-aided mapping was performed during the colposcopy and identify the primary procedure reported. CMS treats this as an add-on code paid within the primary procedure’s global period, so it does not establish a separate global period. The primary code reflects the colposcopy and any biopsy, curettage, or excisional work; 57465 represents the mapping service.

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.
