Why are Hispanics Less Likely to Screen for Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer screening rates are significantly lower among Hispanic Americans over 50, and Hispanic Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer in advanced stages.

Insurance and Billing
Eastern Connecticut Endoscopy Center accepts most major insurance. We will bill your insurance carrier for you; however, we cannot tell you what your policy will cover. Since your insurance policy and coverage are between you and your carrier, we urge you to contact them prior to your procedure. You will be responsible for any co-pays and deductibles.
Express Scheduling
If you’re over 50 and haven’t had a colonoscopy, take advantage of the Express Scheduling Option at the Eastern Connecticut Endoscopy Center. By scheduling directly with our center, you see a board-certified specialist and have your procedure on the same day. This saves time by eliminating an additional office visit and reduces your out-of-pocket cost.
