For the correct indication colonoscopy is covered buy most all insurance carriers.  For screening at age 50 or older, for screening sooner than age 50 in people with risk factors and for blood in the stool it is covered by most every insurance carrier.  The only way to know for sure is to have our business office run your insurance benefits, which they will do for you free of charge, and they can determine if and how well it is covered on your plan.  Don’t let your insurance companies decision on coverage or not deter you from getting screened- if a colon cancer is missed, they save the money on the colonoscopy, but you have to deal with the colon cancer.  For most all endoscopy centers, mine included, we offer private pay cash prices when your insurance doesn’t cover your exam.  Our goal is to make this cost effective for you so we can get you screened.
