The ColonoscopyAssist program was founded in 2010 as a way to remove financial barriers to colorectal cancer screening for the uninsured.

The program is run with the belief that if colorectal cancer screenings are made easily accessible and affordable, more individuals will choose to get screened.

Today hundreds of providers in over 40 states share in our vision by participating in the program and helping patients to get screened quickly and affordably. The organization works directly with communities with high CRC incidence to educate about the importance of early detection and bring awareness that colon cancer screenings are very accessible even for those without health insurance.

Over the years, numerous federal, state & county health departments, non-profit organizations, federally qualified health centers, research organizations and volunteer clinics rely on ColonoscopyAssist to reliably provide colon cancer screenings to their patients. The organization has evolved into the nation’s back-bone for providing colon cancer screenings for any organization working with patients outside of the traditional insurance pool.
