Colposcopy Exam Of The Cervix

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 57452

A doctor uses a colposcope, a lighted magnifying instrument, to look closely at the cervix and the adjoining upper vagina for abnormal cells or tissue changes. It is most often done to follow up an abnormal cervical screening result and to decide whether a biopsy is needed. The colposcope stays outside the body and magnifies the view; only a speculum is inserted, as in a routine pelvic exam.
