About Pap Smear
A Pap smear (Pap test) collects cells from the cervix to screen for cervical cancer and precancerous changes. It is recommended for women starting at age 21, typically every 3 years (or every 5 years with HPV co-testing). The test is quick and performed during a routine gynecological exam.
Understanding Your Bill
The Pap smear bill includes the collection and the lab (cytology) interpretation. It is often covered as preventive care at no cost under the ACA. HPV co-testing, if performed, is billed separately.
How to Save on Your Pap Smear
Compare Cash Prices
Cash prices can be 50-80% lower than insurance rates. Always ask for the self-pay price before booking.
Consider Imaging Centers
Freestanding imaging centers often charge much less than hospitals for the same exact scan.
Submit to Insurance
Even if you pay cash, submit a claim. It still counts toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
