There are several tests which can be used to screen for colon cancer:
- Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT)
- Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
- Double Contrast Barium Enema (DCBE)
- Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and infusion therapy for Crohn's and ulcerative colitis done at our facility typically provide significant cost savings compared to those done at hospital-owned facilities!!! Please verify with your
insurance.
For colon cancer screening, although most insurance carriers do not require a referral (please check with your insurance), we require chart notes from your primary care physician prior to scheduling an appointment to ensure continuity of care.
