2.17.2015 Evidence Based Cervical Cancer Screening (ECS) The service date example in Rate 2, step 2 states, “If the service date for cervical cytology was November 27 of the measurement year, the HPV test must include a service date on or between December 1 and December 5 of the measurement year.” This does not align with the other service data examples in Rate 1 and Rate 3 of the Administrative Specifications. Should the service dates in Rate 2, step 2 align with the other examples?

Yes. The service date example in Rate 2, step 2 should align with the examples in Rate 1 and Rate 3. The dates were inadvertently switched in the Rate 2 example and should state:

“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 November 27 and December 5 of the measurement year.”
