Have you been screened for colon cancer?

Recently, guidelines have changed to recommend screening to start at 45 rather than 50 years of age.

Screening is simple - you don't necessarily need to start with a colonoscopy. You can start with a simple stool test. At Mila Family Health, this, test costs $33. IF the test is negative, GREAT! If the test is positive, then you'll need to get a DIAGNOSTIC colonoscopy.

There are some conditions that require earlier screening - make sure you talk to your P*P to find out if that applies to you!

Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death for people under 50.

‼️ The Heathcare system is overcharging patients. ‼️

Here is a recent story about a patient that experienced an over-charged visit… Names have been changed for privacy reasons.

Jana, a Seattle resident, recently went to her P*P for a visit. She intended the visit to be a “Preventative Visit” only but it ended up being coded as an “Office/Problem Visit” as well, causing her to be double-charged. Before the visit, to determine if she had any questions/concerns to address, Jana made sure to answer “No” so that the visit would be coded appropriately. Despite not having any problems to discuss, she was still charged for both visit types. She complained, and the billing department stated that they would review her case and get back to her in 120 days.

According to Jana, she only spent 15-20 minutes with the doctor and the outcome of the bill was $743.60.

🤔 Do you think what happened to Jana is fair? 🤔
