as a person who is almost 40 and has had a colonoscopy every other year(and one time i had to get one 2 years in a row) since i was 26, you're gonna want that anesthesia. but i dont have united thank god, and i have a syndrome that comes with an automatic 60% chance of colon cancer so i guess its covered cause of that. i forget how many polyps ive had removed, but its probably like 6 or 7 now. One was big. Dad died a slow two year death from colon cancer. United really is the fuckin worst of the worst it seems though.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I started a new job recently and they did something kind of cool which I haven’t seen before, which is allow you to choose from a marketplace of insurers. Obviously private insurance should have never existed, but at least I’m using an insurer with a lower rate of denials rather than being forced to use the Great Satan that is United.
I appreciate that, even though it's been 25 years ago. So the scope was done under your previous employer i guess and you didnt have a choice then. And ive never had a choice of insurer at any job so that is definitely unique.
