For patients at high risk for colorectal cancer, a screening barium enema performed as an alternative to colonoscopy (G0105) is reported with code G0120. Medicare will pay for this procedure every two years (at least 23 completed months since the last screening barium enema or colonoscopy). There is no age limit. For patients at normal risk for colorectal cancer, a screening barium enema performed as an alternative to sigmoidoscopy (G0104) is reported with code G0106.
Karen â Adding the GX modifier to 99397 when a Medicare patient fills out a voluntary ABN for this service is correct. But keep in mind that even if you forget to obtain an ABN or the patient does not fill out the ABN properly, you can still bill the patient for the physical since it is not covered by statute.
