The Open Access program allows healthy patients (no significant gastrointestinal symptoms), and patients who have a strong family history of colon cancer, between the ages of 50 and 74, limit of 350 lbs., to receive a screening colonoscopy without the inconvenience of an initial office visit. This allows patients who qualify to skip the office appointment.  By eliminating an extra office visit, the patient saves not only time but a co-pay as well.

This program is popular with today's busy lifestyles, and we find it encourages patients who have been undecided about having a colonoscopy to schedule this potentially life-saving procedure.  After the referral form is reviewed, the patient will be contacted and set up for either a colonoscopy or an office visit.  Participation in the Open Access program is contingent upon pre-procedure insurance approval and medical history.  Please print your form, complete and fax your open access forms to (704) 372-3605. 

The majority of our procedures are conducted with the latest medical technologies at our 5 endoscopy centers located in Charlotte, Huntersville, Pineville, Monroe and University.
Please review the front of our registration form for all endoscopy center locations.
