but you would think that if it is at least as good as a colonoscopy they would cover it to reduce the risk of other problems due to going under etc...and the fact that more people would get the test due to it being non invasive therefore possible reducing future costs by catching something up front....

It hasn’t been shown to be any better than stool collection and testing, which costs a few dollars and carries no risk.

You'd think.

But a lot of those companies will do anything to sit on a buck for this quarter's bottom line, even if it screws them in the long run. Even if it kills people. I find companies that engage in that kind of practice to be disgusting. A colonoscopy is hardly experimental or contravention. That any insurance company doesn't cover it is insane.
