Screening colonoscopies may be covered

Medicare Part B can cover certain preventive colonoscopy screenings, with frequency depending on risk and prior screening history.

Costs can change if something is found

If a screening turns into a diagnostic procedure or includes removal of polyps, the billing and out-of-pocket costs can change.

Confirm provider and plan rules

Medicare Advantage members should pay special attention to network, referral, and authorization rules before scheduling.
