Q150A – Colorectal Cancer Screening Fee

A fee for colorectal cancer screening, payable once per patient every two years. If a patient has a negative colonoscopy (i.e., revealing either no polyps or only hyperplastic polyps in the sigmoid or rectum), the service is then only payable after a period of 10 years, unless earlier screening is clinically indicated based on the findings, advice, and/or recommendations of the specialist who performed the colonoscopy. For minimum requirements to claim Q150A, refer to INFOBulletin 4723.
