Our executive physical program covers annual colonoscopies and CT full body and angiograms. Do your policies also cover these on an annual basis, or should these services be performed only every other year? Currently those eligible for the plan range in age from mid-40's to 60. I understand why the lab work would be needed every year along with the EKG and stress tests.

Thanks for your help!

I'm no doctor (although I have seen people play them on television), but...

off hand, having a colonoscopy every year seems aggressive.

Generally, I've heard that if they what they find and remove is not malignant , then the next colonoscopy should be in 3 years, and if they don't find anything, the next one is in 10 years.

But a real doctor should decide what's best.
