Busy? Learn about our IA Colonoscopy Program.

Instant Access

We understand that life is busy, and scheduling a colon cancer screening shouldn’t be a hassle. That’s why we offer Instant Access, a streamlined process for scheduling your colonoscopy without the need for an initial office visit.

Instant Access Colonoscopy Program

Here’s how it works:

  • Instead of seeing a doctor before your procedure, you’ll meet with one of our surgery schedulers.

  • During this 15–20 minute appointment, you’ll review pre-op instructions and have the opportunity to ask any questions.

  • n the day of your procedure, you’ll meet your doctor right before the colonoscopy, providing another chance to address any concerns.

How to Schedule Your Instant Access Appointment

  1. Contact Us

    • Call our office at 907-222-1401 and let our staff know you’re interested in an Instant Access Colonoscopy.

  2. Meet with a Surgery Scheduler

    • Schedule a 15–20 minute appointment to review the procedure details, go over preparation instructions, and address questions.

  3. Verify Your Insurance

    • You will need to contact your insurance company to verify benefits.

    • At your pre-op appointment, we’ll collect a deposit based on the information from your insurance provider.

    • Please note: We are not contracted providers. This means the amount we bill may exceed your insurance company’s “usual and customary” or “allowed” amount.

    • For patients with "100% coverage," a $100 deposit will still be collected.

Procedure Requirements

To ensure your procedure goes smoothly, please note the following:

​

  • Post-Operative Transportation

    • You must have a responsible adult available to take you home after your procedure.

    • Taxis, ride-shares, or buses are NOT considered adequate transportation per facility and anesthesia policies.

    • Patients without proper transportation will need to reschedule their procedure.

  • Lodging and Transportation for Out-of-Town Patients

    • If you are traveling to Anchorage for your procedure, you are responsible for arranging your own transportation and lodging.

    • If you’re unsure how long you’ll need to stay in Anchorage, please consult with your surgery scheduler for guidance.
