A 22 year old had a positive pap smear and must undergo colposcopy within the gynecologist’s office. During this procedure, multiple biopsies of the cervix will be taken. What is the correct CPT code for this procedure?

57200
57282
57420
57421

Explanation

Answer: D - 57421 is the correct code for a colposcopy with biopsies of the vagina/cervix.
Code 57200 is incorrect because this code is for colporrhaphy. Code 57282 is incorrect because this code is for a colpopexy and 57420 is incorrect because this code is for colposcopy without biopsies.
