What is a colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is a procedure that allows your physician to examine the lining of the rectum and colon for signs of
cancer, polyps, or other abnormalities. A flexible tube, about the thickness of an index finger is gently inserted
into the anus and advanced through the length of the entire colon. This instrument called a “colonoscope” is
equipped with a tiny video camera which sends pictures to a TV screen.
What preparation is required?
The rectum and colon must be completely emptied of stool for the procedure to be effectively performed. When
scheduling for the procedure, our office will supply you with information regarding your prep and dietary
restrictions. You will also be sedated for the procedure, so you will need to arrange to have some one drive you
home afterwards. The sedation could impair your judgment and reflexes for the rest of the day, so you should not
drive or operate machinery until the next day.
Why is colonoscopy performed?

Colonoscopy is usually done as either part of a routine screening for cancer, in patients with known polyps or
previous polyp removal, to evaluate a change in bowel habits or bleeding, or to evaluate inflammation in the
lining of the colon. Colon cancer has become the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the country, killing
nearly 60,000 people each year. The good news is that it is also one of the most preventable types of cancer.
This is because the majority of colon cancers begin as a small noncancerous growth called a polyp. Polyps grow
slowly and can eventually turn into cancer. This transformation can take as long as ten years, during which time
you feel perfectly fine, showing no symptoms.
Who should be screened?
Colon cancer affects all races, men and women about equally. Current guidelines suggest screening for all
average risk adults over the age of 50. If the exam is normal and there are no other risk factors, repeat
examinations should be performed at ten year intervals.
High risk individuals are screened more often. These would include those with symptoms, prior colon cancer or
polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and those with a family history of colon cancer or polyps.
Will my insurance cover a screening colonoscopy?
Since screening colonoscopy is considered routine care, the answer will depend on the insurance plan. Medicare
recipients over the age of 50 are now covered for average risk screenings if they have not had a previous
colonoscopy within the past ten years. The Medicare Part B deductible is waived in these cases.
The State of Indiana passed a law in 2000 that requires most health insurance plans to cover colorectal cancer
screening exams and lab tests in accordance with the latest American Cancer Society guidelines. You will need
to contact your benefits representative for information specific to your plan.
Will my benefits for routine procedures apply if a polyp is discovered during the course of a
screening colonoscopy?


Unfortunately, if a polyp or other abnormality is found during the course of a screening colonoscopy, most
insurance companies will not consider the procedure to be a routine screening, but instead cover the service as a
diagnostic procedure.
