PAP SMEARS NO MORE

Ladies have you heard no more yearly pap smears. Woo-hoo!!.  Its true according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch on March 22, 2012 New federal guidlines.  Women ages 21-29 every 3 years.  Women 30 and older Pap smear with HPV tests every five years or pap test alone every three years.  Women over 65 no longer need to have a pap smear.

Please be sure to check with your insurance companies as I don't think they will pay for yearly checkups anymore, so before your next scheduled appt talk to your insurance company.
