Medicare provides specific codes for screening colonoscopy based on the patient's risk factors. For a Medicare patient scheduled for a screening colonoscopy who is at high risk (such as those with a history of intestinal polyps), the appropriate code is G0105.
G0105 is used for colorectal cancer screening; colonoscopy on individuals at high risk.
