R87.621
BillableAtypical squamous cells cannot exclude high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on cytologic smear of vagina (ASC-H)
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A vaginal Pap smear showing atypical squamous cells that cannot exclude the possibility of a high-grade precancerous lesion (ASC-H), indicating a higher risk finding than ASC-US.
Coding Tips
- •ASC-H findings typically warrant colposcopy referral rather than HPV testing alone
- •This code indicates a more concerning finding than R87.620 and requires prompt clinical follow-up
