My intrepertation of this code is when a patient does not come in for routine annuals and therefore there would not be any pap smears therefore no 3 negative ones.
For example:
Jane Doe brings in her 60 year old mother for her annual because she has not been seen in 10 years. She can have a pap smear every year for the next three years even if they are all negative and Medicare will pay if you use that V code.
