My insurance wouldn’t pay for my colonoscopy (colon cancer runs in the family) due to me being under 49.
How long ago did you ask? The old guidance was at 50 years old, but with the guidance changing to 45 years old insurance should cover it if you’re at least 45. I went through a similar you did under the old guidance. I can confirm that my insurance paid and I’m under 50. Note, the one you want is a “screening colonoscopy”. These are covered under the ACA, I believe. If it is a “diagnostic colonoscopy” those cost more money. Its the exact same procedure for both.

On my 45th, instead of a colonoscopy, my Dr. had me do the “Cologuard” stuff. Insurance covered that. I turn 46 this year.
