Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a free colonoscopy from CheckIt4Andretti?
CheckIt4Andretti provides free colonoscopies to uninsured or underinsured patients who are referred from one of our free or charitable healthcare partners. Patients must meet the participation criteria set by the free or charitable clinic. CheckIt4Andretti does not select patients or determine financial eligibility.
Can I apply directly to CheckIt4Andretti for a free colonoscopy?
Due to patient confidentiality concerns and the need for financial information disclosures, CheckIt4Andretti is not able to accept applications directly at this time. If you are uninsured or underinsured and live in an area served by one of our charitable clinic partners, we encourage you to look into getting set up as a patient with them. Our free and charitable clinic partners will ask about your insurance and income status to determine your eligibility. If you qualify based on their guidelines, the clinic will refer you if they find you need a colonoscopy.
Who is eligible for a free colonoscopy from CheckIt4Andretti?
Any person who is a patient at one of our partner free or charitable clinic partners is eligible for a free colonoscopy. Healthcare providers at our partner clinics decide if a patient needs a colonoscopy based on age, symptoms or risk factors. The clinic then refers the patient to one of our partner gastroenterology groups to perform the colonoscopy. CheckIt4Andretti is billed by the gastroenterologist.
What can cause a patient to be referred for a colonoscopy?
Our partners may refer patients for a colonoscopy for several reasons. These include being age 45 or older, having a positive FIT (stool) test, a family history of colon cancer, or symptoms such as blood in the stool, changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss. Patients with genetic conditions like Lynch Syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) may also be referred.
