Is colorectal cancer included in the Affordable Care Act cancer screening?

YES, BUT grandfathered health plans are excluded. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires both private insurers and Medicare to cover the costs of colorectal cancer screening tests. The law states that there should be no out-of-pocket costs for patients that receive a screening test assigned an A or B rating by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). However, this rule does not apply to health plans that were in place prior to the ACA. Call your insurance company to find out if you have a grandfathered plan.

Are colonoscopies worth the risk?

Only you can make the decision to get a colonoscopy. It’s generally a safe procedure, and it’s a popular option for colorectal cancer screening because your doctor can both find and remove polyps in one session. Stool tests or a blood test are also an option if you’re not ready for a colonoscopy. But you need to get your screening done and repeat it regularly. Non-invasive tests must be done every 1 to 3 years, depending on the type of test. If your test results are abnormal, a follow-up colonoscopy will be needed. The greatest risk is not getting screened at all.

What’s the colonoscopy age?

Everyone who is considered average-risk for colorectal cancer needs to begin screening at age 45. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or high-risk precancerous polyps , or you see signs and symptoms , you may need to be screened sooner. If this is your case, your only option for screening is colonoscopy.
