Colon Cancer Screening

Colorectal screening is recommended for nearly everyone greater than 50 years of age and occasionally for younger individuals. The screening procedure may not be the same for all individuals and depends on your age, family and personal history, and other medical conditions such as rectal bleeding or blood in the stool. There is often more than one test that is appropriate for a given individual.

Even though your physician recommends tests for you, please be aware that your insurance company may not cover the cost of screening evaluation or testing. Be sure you call your insurance company to verify your benefits for screening/routine procedures and outpatient surgery prior to any test performed. Our staff will discuss the appropriate screening options with you and make the necessary arrangements. Recommendations are made on medical appropriateness, not insurance coverage. Our staff will help you decide which test is best for you.

Please bring all current medications that you are taking or a list of the medications you are taking.

Should you decide to proceed with the screening evaluation, the office staff will ask you to sign a waiver indicating that you will be responsible for payment in the event that your insurance company does not cover the procedures. If you have any questions, please call our office at 704-783-1840.
