No matter what product you are thinking of purchasing, price and affordability are at the top of the list. Your colonoscopy is no exception. You know that colon screenings prevent colon cancer and are an important component of overall wellness, but let’s face it. Sometimes, we have to make tough choices in how to spend our hard-earned money.
You may be tempted to forego your colonoscopy because you think it will cost you hundreds of dollars. It is probably ok to put off the exam for a few years, isn’t it? After all, you tell yourself, new tires for the car and a new HVAC system in your home seem much more important, and you just can’t afford everything.
That system of reasoning is all too familiar, but it is probably not accurate. Colonoscopies are more affordable now than ever before. In fact, some people are paying nothing out of pocket. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicare and many private insurance companies cover screening colonoscopies and associated anesthesia costs at 100 percent.
