77057, 77052 is the correct code sequence for this procedure. 77057 is the correct code for a screening mammography, bilateral with 2-view film study of each breast and 77052 is the correct code for computer-aided detection during a screening mammography.
Code 77054 is incorrect because this code is for a mammary ductogram or galactogram. Code 77056 is incorrect because this is for a bilateral mammography, but not for a screening mammography. Code 77057 is correct, but alone does not include computer-aided detection and requires the additional code to indicate this further testing.
