Colonoscopy
For patients who are scheduled for Screening Colonoscopies:Â Please be advised in the event of a finding, such as the removal of polyps, the procedure would no longer be considered a screening exam and your insurance coverage could change to diagnostic colonoscopy benefits. Please check with your insurance carrier.

Internal Medicine
Gastroenterology
It depends on your insurance and the type of coverage you have as to the coverage ofÂ your services at Gastroenterology Associates of Ithaca.Â You should contact your insurance plan to determine what co-pays and/or deductibles you have for office visits to a specialist or endoscopic procedures.
Endoscopy
Before insertion of the scope, your throat may be sprayed with medication to numb your tongue and throat to prevent gagging. Intravenous medication will be administered to make you groggy. Mild discomfort may be experienced, but few people remember the procedure. The procedure itself will take approximately 5 to 20 minutes and you will remain in the Endoscopy Suite until you are more fully awake. Plan to be at the Hospital or Cayuga Endoscopy Center for 1-2 hours.

Ultrasound
Liver biopsy is considered minor surgery and so it is done at the hospital. F or the biopsy, you will lie on a hospital bed on your back with your right hand above your head. After marking the outline of your liver and injecting a local anesthetic to numb the area, the physician will make a small incision in your right side near your rib cage, then insert the biopsy needle and retrieve a sample of liver tissue. In some cases, the physician may use an ultrasound image of the liver to help guide the needle to a specific spot.
Radiology
X-Rays

Ulcer
In some cases, it may be necessary to take a sample of tissue, called a biopsy, for later examination under the microscope. This, too, is a painless procedure. In other cases, this endoscope can be used to treat a problem such as active bleeding from an ulcer.
