TC=Technical Component;the fee for performing the service. 26=Professional Component;the fee for interpreting the service. Notes: (1) NC BCCCP covers only the physician's fee. Any facility charges associated with these CPT codes are not covered. (2) All consultations should be billed through the standard"new patient"office visit CPT codes:99201-99205. Consultations billed as 99204 or 99205 must meet the criteria for these codes,and must be pre-authorized. Codes 99204 and 99205 are not appropriate for screening visits. (3) HPV DNA testing is a reimbursable procedure if used for screening in conjunction with Pap testing or for follow-up of an abnormal Pap result or surveillance per ASCCP guidelines. It is not reimbursable as a primary screening test for women of all ages or as an adjunctive screening test to the Pap for women under 30 years of age. Providers should specify the high-risk HPV DNA panel only. Reimbursement of screening for low-risk HPV types is not permitted. The CDC will allow for reimbursement of Cervista HPV HR at the same rate as the Digene Hybrid-Capture 2 HPV DNA Assay. CDC funds cannot be used for reimubrsement of genotyping(e.g.,Cervista HPV 16118). (4) Up to three cervical biopsies,including ECC(endocervical currettage),per colposcopy will be covered by the BCCCP when the appropriate algorithm is followed.
