    On medicare, 66 years young. Cologuard and colonoscopy. Seem insurance is pushing the 'pre-test' cologuard. If one tests positive then one is supposed to get the invasive colonoscopy procedure. I read that some insurance can rate or code a colonoscopy as a preventive procedure others as a diagnostic procedure. The costs can differ. A positive on the cologuard creates the diagnostic code, where no cologuard prior is rated a preventative code. Any freeper with feedback and first hand experience with these matters ?
