Cytopathology
• CYP.08500 (Manual Screening – Laboratories
Subject to US Regulations)
There is a written workload policy for the manual screening of cytology slides,
with evidence of data recording.
• Revised to add the following note for CMS compliance with
workload recording:
*For all screening personnel, adequacy assessment of fine needle aspiration (FNA)
smears or rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is not considered primary cytology
screening; however, the time spent performing adequacy assessments must be used
to prorate the maximum number of slides the individual can screen in a 24-hour
period.
* Based on Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Memorandum QSO18-14-
CLIA released March 16, 2018.
