Pap and HPV Combined Reports

In response to many client requests, CompuNet Clinical Laboratories is pleased to announce that for test orders placed as of April 11, 2022, a patient’s Papanicolaou (Pap) test report now also includes the patient’s human papillomavirus (HPV) result.

Here is an overview of how Pap and HPV results will report, based on how a patient receives test results:

Clients with EMR/HER Interface

1. The patient’s HPV result will be reported first, separate from the Pap.
2. When the Pap result is released, the report will include the HPV result embedded as an addendum.
3. If there is an HPV reflex result, the HPV result will be reported separately following the original Pap report. An addendum Pap report that includes the embedded HPV result will also be sent. 

If a patient has the Atlas Portal, the process is the same as above, and their results will either autoprint or be printed by their office.

Clients without EMR/HER Interface

1. The patient’s HPV result report will be autofaxed first.
2. When the Pap result is released, the report will also include the HPV result, and the report will be autofaxed.
3. If there is an HPV reflex result, the HPV result will be autofaxed separately following the original Pap report. An addendum Pap report that includes the embedded HPV result will also be autofaxed.
