Wiki CPT code for anal pap smear

If the dr is only collecting the speciman(either anal,cervix or vaginal) to be sent to a lab then you would bill 99000 or Q0091 for medicare.
The 8000 series of codes is what the path/lab depatment bills out not the dr who is collecting the specimen.

Anal PAP coding
This issue just came up for us, I agree, I think 88160 is the most appropriate for an anal PAP for the lab test.
