In the article entitled “Successfully Integrating Human Papillomavirus Testing Into Your Practice” by Richard Lozano, MD, that appeared in the August issue of the Archives (Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2003;127:991–994), the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for human papillomavirus testing is incorrectly listed as 88621. The correct CPT code for this test is 87621.
