Liquid-Based Cervical Cell Screening

Oklahoma rates for HCPCS 88142

A cervical or vaginal cell sample collected into a preservative liquid is prepared as a thin, even layer on a slide and examined by a trained screener under a microscope. The screening looks for cells that are abnormal or show signs of infection. The slide is read by a person rather than by an automated imaging system, under a physician's supervision.
