Procedure
A colonoscopy is a procedure that lets a doctor look inside the large intestine to check for colon problems, including signs of colorectal cancer. It may be done as a routine preventive exam or to investigate symptoms and can also allow the doctor to remove growths or take small tissue samples during the visit.
Before you schedule
The displayed Medicare amount covers one billed service, not every bill that may accompany a medical procedure. Use these guides to identify separate components and request an estimate for your own coverage.
How the numbers are built
Review the methodology and publication thresholds, browse the procedure directory, or use the medical cost guides before requesting an estimate.
