Question:
Should the CPT® codes be used to bill for mammograms or should the G codes be used?
Answer:
Beginning January 1, 2018, Medicare is finally going to accept CPT codes for mammograms. The previously reported G codes (G0202, G0204, G0206) will be deleted effective December 31, 2017. Now, the following codes should be reported to all payers:
77065 | Diagnostic mammography, including computer-aided detection (CAD) when performed; unilateral |
77066 | bilateral |
77067 | Screening mammography, bilateral (2-view study of each breast), including CAD when performed |
