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.
Some payors accept the HCPCS code G0121 (screening colonoscopy for average risk), initially only used by Medicare but now more widespread among commercial payors. Other payors, however, accept CPT 45378 (colonoscopy diagnostic) with a diagnosis code of V76.51 (colon screening for malignant neoplasm). However, if a polyp or lesion is found and removed by snare during the screening colonoscopy, coding becomes more complicated.
