What This Code Means

A follow-up cervical smear test (Pap smear) performed to confirm that a recent normal result was accurate after a previous abnormal smear.

Coding Tips

  • This code indicates a confirmatory test following an initial abnormal result that was then found to be normal on repeat testing
  • Document the sequence of results (initial abnormal, then normal confirmation) in the medical record for clarity
