Pap Smear tariffs may be added onto any applicable consultation or visit service rendered by any physician.

Some examples of when such an additional claim may be made are:

• Pre/post-natal care visits — Tariff 9795 may be claimed in addition to Tariff 8400 Comprehensive pre-natal assessment or Tariffs 8401/8402 Pre/​post natal visits.

• Consultation — Tariff 9795 may be claimed in addition to Tariff 8550 Consultation.

• Visits – In most situations where a pap smear is taken, you may bill the appropriate visit tariff in addition to 9795. This includes visits such as Tariff 8529 or 8540 for Family Physicians/​Paediatricians and Tariffs 8505 or 8540 for Gynaecologists.
