R87.611
BillableAtypical squamous cells cannot exclude high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on cytologic smear of cervix (ASC-H)
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A cervical cancer screening test shows atypical cells that could represent either low-grade or high-grade changes and requires further evaluation.
Coding Tips
- •ASC-H findings typically warrant colposcopy referral rather than HPV testing alone
- •This result indicates higher risk than ASC-US and requires prompt follow-up
