Wiki Pelvic exam under anesthesia with biopsy of cervix

[cgarciamck87@gmail.com]

Patient underwent an exam under anesthesia due to a pelvic mass found during a separate procedure the day prior. It was suspected to be cervical cancer. During this exam, a biopsy of the uterine cervix was taken. Pathology states "moderately differentiated p16 positive squamous cell carcinoma". Would I code 57500 only for this procedure?

When I run those codes through a scrubber, it comes up as 57500 is bundled (cannot be overriden with modifier) into the pelvic exam under anesthesia. You would bill only that.

Which RVU is higher, bill for that one.
