SUMMARY
Medicare will cover 100 percent of the allowable amount for screening colonoscopies effective January 1, 2015. Patients will still be responsible for co-payments and deductibles for diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopies, however, as well as for co-payments for screening colonoscopies that end up with a biopsy or polyp removal.

Never underestimate the stupidity of Medicare policies.
