My wife has a family history of colon cancer. So, in 2016 her doctor recommended to us both that a colonoscopy would be a reasonable safeguard. At the completion of the procedure, he informed me that a small precancerous lesion had been found and removed...and that he believed a follow up procedure would be warranted in 3 years to ensure her well being.
We scheduled the procedure over a month ago. Today, I called and received word that her colonoscopy would cost us nearly five grand out of pocket.
$5000
Why?
Insurance doesn't seem to think it's necessary. What? A person with family history doesn't need another colonoscopy for 5-10 years even if precancerous activity was found in the last procedure?
My patience is wearing thin...
