Wiki screening anal pap-What cpt code

We use code 88160 for anal paps prepared as smears. (88160 Cytopathology, smears, any other source; screening and interpretation)

If a thin prep is prepared, then 88112 would be appropriate. (88112 Cytopathology, selective cellular enhancement technique with interpretation.)

Dennis Padget offers some additional information on this subject in his Pathology Handbook.
