Screening Colonoscopy vs Diagnostic Colonoscopy
New legislation was passed effective January 1, 2011 related to Screening Colonoscopy procedures. Depending on your insurance coverage, you may be impacted by the law.
The legislation states that if the procedure results in no findings by your physician, there will be no deductible, co-insurance or co-payment applied to the cost of the procedure and your insurance will assume all liability.
If your procedure is scheduled as a screening colonoscopy and during the procedure your physician discovers abnormal findings or signs and symptoms such as bleeding, diarrhea, polyps, anemia, change in bowel habits, abdominal pain, etc. the procedure will then be considered diagnostic and the patient will be responsible to pay applied co-insurance, co-pays or deductibles.
