Computer-Screened Cervical Cell Sample

Maryland rates for HCPCS 88175

A cervical or vaginal cell sample collected into liquid and spread as a thin layer on a slide is first screened by an automated imaging system, and the areas it flags are then reviewed by a trained screener. Combining the machine pass with human review helps make sure abnormal cells are not missed. The work is done under a physician's supervision.
