Cancer screening
Report G0102 for a prostate cancer screening digital rectal examination, in which a clinician palpates the prostate through the rectum.
G0102 represents a screening examination in which a clinician inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to assess the prostate by palpation. Primary care clinicians and urologists commonly perform it during an outpatient visit. The exam can assess features such as prostate size, contour, and palpable irregularities; the code identifies the screening service, not a laboratory test or evaluation of urinary symptoms.
Select G0102 when the documented purpose is prostate cancer screening and the digital examination was performed. The note should establish screening intent and record the examination and relevant findings. Do not use this code for a PSA blood test; G0103 identifies screening PSA testing. CMS physician fee schedule values for G0102 include work and practice expense, with practice expense values that differ by setting.

For G0102 in Merced, the physician’s office rate is $26.06 and the facility-setting rate is $7.76: a difference of $18.30.
The calculation uses a different practice-expense RVU for each setting. Both amounts here are physician fee-schedule amounts. The facility figure does not include a hospital’s separate charges, so this comparison does not tell you the total cost of receiving care in each setting.

G0102 identifies the digital rectal examination; G0103 identifies a screening prostate-specific antigen blood test. Report the service actually performed and documented.
No. G0102 is for the screening digital examination, not blood collection or PSA analysis.
Document that the examination was performed for screening, describe the digital prostate examination, and record relevant findings.
The codes identify different screening services: a digital examination and a PSA test. Report both only when both services were performed and documented.
No time or area-count level is identified for this code. It represents the screening digital examination of the prostate.
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
