    12.16.2013 Cervical Cancer Screening In step 2 of the Administrative Specification, organizations identify women 30-64 years of age as of December 31 of the measurement year who had cervical cytology and a human papillomavirus (HPV) test, with service dates four or less days apart during the measurement year. When counting service dates, is the date of the cervical cytology considered day one or day zero of the four-day count?

    The date of the cervical cytology is considered day zero. For example, if the service date for cervical cytology was December 1 of the measurement year, the HPV test must include a service date on or between December 1 and December 5 of the measurement year.
