Will medicare pay for a colonoscopy after age 70?

Yes, Medicare typically covers colonoscopy screenings for individuals over age 70, as long as they meet certain criteria. Medicare Part B generally covers preventive services, including colonoscopies, once every 10 years for average-risk individuals. However, if a colonoscopy is performed for diagnostic reasons or if there are risk factors, it may be covered more frequently. Always check with Medicare or a healthcare provider for specific eligibility and coverage details.
