Summary
Cigna Healthcare has issued comprehensive guidelines for cervical cancer prevention, screening, and HPV vaccination, emphasizing HEDIS quality measures for women aged 21-64. This is primarily educational guidance for providers on screening intervals, vaccination recommendations, and patient communication strategies.
Action Required
Providers should review cervical cancer screening protocols to ensure compliance with HEDIS measures: Pap tests every 3 years for ages 21-64, HPV testing every 5 years for ages 30-64, or co-testing every 5 years for ages 30-64. Verify that routine screenings and HPV vaccinations are being documented appropriately for quality reporting.
