Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota has launched a cervical cancer screening outreach campaign, mailing over 5,000 postcards to eligible subscribers who haven't completed screening in 3+ years. The policy reinforces existing HEDIS screening guidelines for women ages 21-64.
Action Required
No immediate billing changes required. Continue following existing cervical cancer screening guidelines: 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. Expect potential increase in screening appointment requests from BCBSND members.
