Yes, just get it done. I was told that Medicare does not pay for paps after 65 if you have never had an abnormal one or have never had cancer. Also I was told that Medicare NEVER covers a HPV test after 65. When I had the pap I also had the HPV test done and Medicare did deny it but, Labcorp never billed me for it either. When I saw how much Medicare paid my Gyn Dr. I felt ashamed it was almost nothing I think it was like 50.00.
The entire medical system is totally a mess but we have to work with it and be aware of why decisions are made both for our benefit and ones that are not for our benefit.
