About G0141: Cervical or vaginal cytology with automated and manual review
Reports cervical or vaginal screening cytology when an automated system screens the specimen, a person manually rescreens it, and a physician interprets it.
G0141 covers laboratory screening of a cervical or vaginal cytology specimen using automated screening followed by manual rescreening, with physician interpretation. It is used for Pap screening workflows in which those steps are part of the service. Cytotechnologists typically perform the screening and rescreening, with a pathologist or other qualified physician providing the interpretation. The specimen may be collected in a physician’s office or another clinical setting and processed by a cytology laboratory.
Select G0141 when the documented workflow includes automated screening, manual rescreening, and physician interpretation; it is not a code for specimen collection alone. Documentation should identify the cervical or vaginal specimen and support the screening purpose and review steps performed. Report the workflow as one cytology service rather than separately reporting its automated screening, manual rescreening, and interpretation stages. The CMS facts supplied for this code list no special payment instruction to explain beyond its assigned fee schedule values.

G0141 billing questions
When should G0141 be selected instead of G0147?
Use G0141 when the workflow includes automated screening, manual rescreening, and physician interpretation. G0147 describes screening by an automated system and does not identify the same manual-rescreening workflow.
How does G0141 differ from G0148?
G0148 describes automated screening with manual rescreening. G0141 also includes physician interpretation, so the documented service must support that interpretation.
Can the review steps be billed separately?
G0141 represents the combined screening, manual rescreening, and physician interpretation workflow. Do not split those stages into separate G0141 lines.
What documentation supports reporting G0141?
The record should identify a cervical or vaginal screening cytology specimen and support automated screening, manual rescreening, and physician interpretation.
