Default annual pap/follow up to abnormal

How do I code a patient that had an abnormal annual pap, came back for a repeat pap in 6 months and is now here for ANOTHER 6 month pap (that should actually be her annual pap)? Does that make sense? Should I code it with 795.01 with an E/M or do I code it as 9939X because it is yearly??

Default Annual pap/follow up to abnormal

I have this same senario. I have a patient that came in for annual, results lgsil, colp done, patient told to return in 6 months, waited 2 years and came in wanting an annual exam billed because insurance will cover. Physician billed an e/m for lgsil.

If anyone can give some advice would appreciate.
