Referrals will be provided to those individuals over the age of 50 who have not had a colonoscopy.
Comprehensive Cancer Risk Assessment
This examination is provided by a cancer prevention specialist. It consists of a complete cancer risk assessment, appropriate screenings and an evaluation by a genetic counselor, if necessary. If, based on the evaluation, a specific diagnostic exam or procedure is recommended, those appointments will be scheduled for the patient by the cancer prevention and early detection office. On-going care and follow-up are available for every patient who receives the comprehensive cancer risk assessment. This service does not require age or health pre-requisites to participate, but is extremely beneficial to those individuals with a family history of cancer. This appointment is considered a physician office visit and is billed accordingly. At the time of the visit patients are responsible for their co-pay as outlined by their individual insurance provider. If you are interested in a comprehensive cancer risk assessment but do not have insurance, please call (502) 899-6888 to speak with a financial counselor.
If you are interested in receiving more information on the comprehensive cancer risk assessment or would like to schedule an appointment with a cancer prevention specialist, call (502) 629-1234 .
