It is a true story of 4 women who got Colon Cancer at 28-38 years age.One lives in Chicago,Il. She had a bus driver job ,but lost it because she could not drive the bus with 90% of her Colon removed. I suggest you please read this article--by PASTING the URL on your computer or Cell phone.

After reading this article-imagine the benefits of spending 1500$-- and not getting Colon Cancer and still having your job.

What happens if you could get Colonoscopy for around 1500$? Will you still play with being lucky?

For Breast Cancer-many fought for 40 yr.as screening time rather than 50.Self Breast exam is needed but not reliable.So many are getting their exam at 40. Great idea.

Afro Americans doctor fought--and they can get Colonoscopy thru insurance at 45.

Another point: Those with family history can get insurance to approve the payment for Colonoscopy.

A few years ago,2 insurance co.approached us to open an office based Colonoscopy center--they helped us how to get certification etc. Their reason: With lower costs--more will get Colonoscopy and thus be saved from Colon Cancer. Actually two Insurance executives got their Colonoscopy at our center--and gave us A ratings. Since their insurance didn’t pay,they paid from their pocket. But they are relieved of one worry.

Polyps start developing in 20’s--but are found in 25% of people at the age of 50.

Polyp is the source of Colon Cancer as Dr.OZ found out when he turned 50. He had no symptoms.

So please think of getting screened--1500$ is a good investment--this includes facility fee, TWO doctors fees-Gastroenterologist and anesthesiologist fees.

If you are 50,still it will cost you 3500$ at other facilities after getting a discount with the help of insurance co.

If you are on high deductible--which more people are opting to keep yearly premiums in control, your cost of 3500$ will finish the deductible in one day.
