I’ve already had a colonoscopy. Do I need to do this test also?2020-02-20T00:35:48+00:00

If you are not due for your follow up colonoscopy, you are in compliance with screening guidelines and this test is not necessary. However, there are still some advantages to completing a FIT. For example, studies show that completing an annual FIT in between colonoscopy allowed asymptomatic patients to detect cancer up to 2 years earlier. Your plan will cover the cost of your test if you choose to complete the test.
