Please help question about pelvic exam

What is the cpt code of a pelvic exam. It was not a pap it was just a pelvic exam. My physician are not OB/GYN. Also can I charge a pelvic exam and a new patient office visit.

If it is for a complaint(pain, possible std etc) then the exam is included in the E&M level and not seperatly codeable.
