IMPORTANT NEWS:
As of September 23, 2010, all healthcare plans and insurers are required to cover the full cost of certain preventive services, including screening colonoscopy. By removing the cost-sharing burden from patients, this provision of the "Affordable Care Act" could increase the number of adults seeking colorectal cancer screenings. The rule applies only to individuals receiving tests and screenings from in-network providers, insurers are still permitted to require cost-sharing from patients when precancerous polyps are found and removed during the procedure.
