Clinical Significance

This new test code will perform like test code 91384 but will always add Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Trichomonas vaginalis ("trich" or TV) testing to the Pap. Specifically, testing will occur as follows:

• Patients aged 21-24: Patients will receive Image-guided Pap and, when the result is ASC-US, a high-risk HPV mRNA test will be performed. Additionally, CT/NG and TV will be performed.
• Patients aged 25-29: Patients will receive Image-guided Pap and, when the result is ASC-US, a high-risk HPV mRNA test will be performed. Additionally, CT/NG and TV will be performed.
• Patients aged 30-65: Patients will receive Image-guided Pap and a high-risk HPV mRNA test. When the Pap result is negative but the HPV mRNA screen is positive, Genotyping for HPV mRNA 16, 18/45 will be performed. Additionally, CT/NG and TV will be performed.
• Patients falling outside of the above age ranges, or without a date of birth, will receive an Image-guided Pap. Additionally, CT/NG and TV will be performed.

Codes may include ThinPrep® or SurePath™ Image-guided Paps, HPV mRNA, CT/NG/TV.
