I tried to include the summary from the Medicare site. Hopefully I did it right. So for me, I had a PAP/cervical exam at 65 but then it went to every two years. Prior to being on Medicare I had this exam annually. So maybe Medicare didn’t change during this time, but Medicare’s payment rules were more limited. My gynecologist did not suggest that this was inappropriate. In hindsight, knowing that endometrial cancer is a frequent cancer in post-menopausal women and that the occurrence rates are rising, this seems inappropriate.
