that’s why I’m doing it.

My understanding is I could have dangerous polyps up in there and not know it for 3-5 years when I notice blood in stools. Then it’s too late or you’re fighting for your life and doing chemo. Sounds like a scenario I’d like to avoid. Spending a day not far from a toilet sounds like a good trade off.

Um, that wouldn't make a lot of sense, would it? Put you under 2x.

They take care of them as they find them. If they find one then you should be back again in 3 years. I think this is because if they find one, they may miss others. However, if they find none, you are good for 5 years.

Enjoy the day prior...

Finding none is usually 10 year interval if no family history.

Case in point about the age thing: remember that colon cancer is what killed Chadwick Boseman. He was 43.

Interesting note about colonoscopies. They are covered pretty well by insurance if they are for screening (due based on age, not for symptoms)

However, if they find a polyp it is automatically coded as a diagnostic colonoscopy and costs more. I believe Each biopsy is also a specific charge

I THINK that depends on the state. Or at least I paid $0 for mine (in Colorado), which included multiple polyps and biopsies.

Meanwhile, my brother (in Kansas) paid like $1500 for his, which found nothing.

My wife went to an in network provider, and we found out the anesthesiologist was out of network afterwards. We eventually fought it successfully but their initial bill was triple our payment to the doc

Prepping is awful, just awful. You didn't know you could poop that much before then. I did the "white diet" (that's racist .gif) the day before the actual Magnesium Citrate cleanse day, they say that helps even further with cleaning you out back/down there so the docs don't have to even think about anything other then operating the camera. Seemed to work - they actually told me I did a great job on my cleanse, lol.

Chop it out and send it away to test. If benign, no worries, but you do have to return in five years instead of ten for your next one.

Looking through this thread as I was curious about how the OP is doing after his issues and I saw this post. I'm pretty sure that both of you are wrong. I went back and looked up my billing. I paid $0 for mine in Kansas. It must depend on how good is your insurance.
