Billing PAP Smears; Professional fee vs technical fee from the lab

My Director has asked that I locate for her information from sometime in the early 2000's about a change in billing rules that allows the lab to bill the technical fee for a PAP Smear and the pathologist bill the professional fee for the same test. She said there was a change sometime 2000 to 2004 when CMS came out with this information and changed it so both could be billed. I have tried searching CMS transmittals but haven't had much luck. I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer.

Thank you
Sandy
