Colonoscopy via Stoma Overview

A colonoscopy is a standard medical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly those affecting the large intestine (rectum, colon, and anus) and part of the small intestine (the ileum). It is the most effective and widely accepted screening tool for identifying colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Individuals over the age of 50 are recommended to undergo colorectal cancer screening at least every ten years.

During a colonoscopy, the physician uses a small, flexible tube with a high-definition camera on the tip, called a colonoscope. The colonoscope also features channels for passing special instruments or fluids and LED lights to illuminate the colon. It is inserted into the patient's anus and slowly advanced through the rectum and colon. The colonoscope allows the physician to visualize the entire colon in real time and identify abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, infections, or cancer. If abnormalities are detected, the physician can perform a biopsy or remove abnormal tissue during the procedure.

Before the procedure, patients undergo bowel preparation, which includes taking medications to increase bowel movements and following a low-residue or clear liquid diet for one to two days. Bowel preparation ensures that stool and other digestive material do not obstruct the physician’s view of the colon and helps prevent complications such as bowel perforation. Your doctor will provide specific instructions for the preferred bowel preparation method.

Patients are typically under mild sedation during the procedure, administered by an anesthesiologist. Sedation ensures comfort and minimizes movement, reducing the risk of complications. Colonoscopies are generally well-tolerated, with minimal risks that may include rectal tears, bleeding, pain, bloating, or infection.

After the procedure, any biopsies or collected tissue will be sent to a laboratory for further examination. Once the results are available, they will be reviewed with the patient. Based on the findings, the physician may recommend additional treatment, follow-up colonoscopies, or other interventions for re-evaluation, surveillance, or treatment.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make the most of the information provided?

Use this information to compare healthcare providers and estimate the price you'll pay (see 'What does the estimated price include?' for more information). We recommend verifying this information directly with your provider.

Do my search results include an exhaustive list of providers that offer the service I'm looking for?

No. Our beta search experience currently includes providers for whom we are able to find prices and verify their accuracy (see 'How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?' below for more information). This means there may be other providers available in your area. We are introducing additional providers on a rolling basis. If you don't see a specific provider listed, check back soon.

Why isn't my insurance plan listed?

We are introducing additional national and regional insurance plans on a rolling basis. If you don't see your insurance plan listed, check back soon.

What if I can't find the service I'm looking for?

Our beta search experience includes a limited set of services, which we are growing all the time. If you can't find what you're looking for,

What does the estimated price include?

Estimated prices include facility fees (charges that cover the overhead costs of running a hospital) and professional fees (charges that cover the costs of services provided by medical professionals like doctors, nurses, or lab technicians).

How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?

Turquoise obtains prices from multiple sources, including provider and insurance published data, as well as historical medical claims.

If you're using insurance...

A price is considered fully verified if it is made available by both the provider and the insurance company, and those prices have low variability. A price is considered partially verified if it is made available by one or the other and can be corroborated by historical medical claims data. Turquoise does not currently publish any rates that don't meet these verification criteria.

If you're not using insurance...

Cash-pay prices can only be retrieved from provider-published data.

I'm using insurance. How do I estimate my out-of-pocket cost vs. what I can expect insurance to cover?

To estimate your out-of-pocket cost, use the calculator tool on the cost breakdown page. We recommend first logging into your insurance portal or contacting them directly to retrieve your up-to-date deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and service-specific co-pay or co-insurance information.

I enrolled in a government-sponsored healthcare program. Can I use Turquoise to find prices for care?

You should not use Turquoise Health to compare prices if you are enrolled in a Medicare or Medicaid plan. Contact Medicare or your state's Medicaid program directly for more information.
