However, once the FIT screening is covered and comes back positive, the insurance plan is not required to cover your Colonoscopy as preventative. Most individuals complete the FIT out-of-pocket as its costs is so low so as to not jeopardize a colonoscopy not being covered if needed.

It is generally recommended to take a FIT test once a year if you are over 45 and have no family history of colorectal cancer. Speak with your doctor for personalized guidance.
