[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I did have a few small polyps at my last one 5 years ago. So that has now changed them forever to diagnostic? That seems crazy. Insurance is such a racket.[/quote]

[b]When did your gastroenterologist tell you to come back next time?[/b]

The ACA makes preventative tests free for the patient, but yours was no longer considered preventative since you previously had polyps removed.[/quote]

5 years[/quote]

You'll need to pay again next time.[/quote]

DP, but maybe not. That will be at the ten year mark. OP, I'd ask my provider to class/code that one as screening. It's not like it's a different procedure.[/quote]

But 5 years from the previous colonoscopy. If the gastroenterologist told her she could come back in 10 years, then the next one could have been screening. But based on the size or pathology of the first polyp, she's apparently still considered high risk.[/quote]

PP here - you're right. I don't do math very well.[/quote]
