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.

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.

Staff was very professional and efficient...sent a lot of text reminders and instructions which I thought was great because I don't usually check my voicemails. Follow up the next day was surprising but appreciated!
