I must have real good insurance. I get an endoscopy every 2 years and a colonoscopy every 3 years. Some of the best sleep I get all year too, lol!

I got to go every 3 years, some of the polyps they cut out are the kind that turns to cancer.

Say you do the test and it comes back you got cancer. You have no insurance or money for the treatment. More lotion!

Doesn't Iowa offer some sort of state run health care or have a medical assistance program? Check with your department of human services. They should be able to help.

You are a good example of who the government should be helping first instead of giving free medical care for illegal immigrants. This is what bothers me most about this present administration.

All polyps are non cancerous at first. I get an exam in November because my last exam found cancer and a surgeon removed 8” of my colon. Was caught early. I had no symptoms. Had two cancer surgeries in six weeks.

Colon cancer can slip up on you. Hope you are OK. Ask your doctor if there are any university studies.

If they find something they want to watch, or later remove, they can put a tattoo inside your colon. The tattoo is visible from the inside and outside of the colon. I watched the monitor when the gastro doctor did mine. He put a mark above and below the problem spot to guide the surgeon. When I later had a kidney removed, that surgeon said he noticed the tattoos marking the previous site of my cancer.

Boco, don't be rich with your advice on not paying, if your working your paying for your service's, through your taxes, you leave that out a lot in your examples !!

Coonman, you need another regular exam thats the bottom line, you have to decide how badly you wish to have it, to warn you of any thing coming down the tube, so to speak !

Lots of things happen when we age, some we can get notice with early warning, scanning is one of these tools, if your playing the lottery with your body and already know about non-cancerous stuff, it's a short throw to cancerous really in the scheme of the previous scan.

Your gamble, you wish to be around longer or have the doctor give you an estimate how long !

Good grief, go sign up for Obamacare. You will have immediate coverage at little if any cost to you. It is based on your income. If you can get on trapperman, you should have all the technology you need to sign up, or at least get a price.

Tell the dentist to turn the exam light up real bright.....And open real wide! Ask the dentist to take good look....

You cam probably qualify for Medicaid check with your state. Also look at Obama plans.
Yes colonoscopies are billed as a preventive exam. Usually it turns into an outpatient procedure IF they remove polyps.
In all my years in health insurance I don't ever remember seeing a colonoscopy for more than 5k. If memory serves me right they are around 3500 and that's with removal.

Dave, contact an local insurance agent that specializes in health insurance! They will explain all your options; what you qualify for (medicaid, obamacare, private carrier), level of coverages, premium costs, etc. They will explain what is covered, who you can see, level of your personal payment liability, hada, hada, hada. AND THEY DON'T CHARGE YOU FOR THE SERVICE ... FREE!

The current government administration has provided excess financial help for insurance costs during the pandemic compared to past years based on total income. Bad things are: this financial help won't exist for ever. Insurance periods renew every year so you got to go thru the process every years. There are only 5 months left in this year's insurance cycle. Get everything done before the end of the year for one deductable ... Scope, knees, and whatever else ails ya.

As always though, you won't act on any advise offered by anyone.

I had the wind talkers decipher this and this is what they came up with;

When I had this done, they say almost all been 50 and older have polyps. Mine are not cancerous, but I watched them take them out on a TV screen. They may get worse but if I pay with no insurance, they may charge me the max price. There's no agreement on price with the insurance company. There's no way I can afford this. I can't get any help from Medicaid or anything because I make $1100 to $1200 per month gross. I'm not sure what can be done, and they won't take payments. I say cash or insurance and they say you will have blood in stool if bad. I have no symptoms, but men at the factory younger age dead from cancer. I can think of several right off the top of my head who refused colonoscopies until it was too late and they died. I remember hearing them say that colon exams were worse years ago and that guys wouldn't go in and it was common cancer at age 50 and over. I'm far past that at 61.

The Injuns just submitted their invoice for this translation;
$49,765.
