The insurance ppl are wrong. The provisional diagnosis should have been some other disease rather than internal hemorrhoids as nausea is not usually associated with the hemorrhoids. You should stress that the provisional diagnosis was something else, that needed to be ruled out and hence the procedure was performed. This way the insurance will have to pay for the procedure. Hope you will win the argument. All the best ! I think you mean that the colonoscopy is not being considered as ‘covered’ by the insurance co. coz doctor found hemorroids.

Stand your ground with this one. You had a covered colonoscopy to look for possible IBS. Hemorrhoids don't cause IBS or nausea and are irrelevant. It's like the dentist looking for a cavity and finding that you have tonsils while he's in your mouth. Make your insurance company look like idiots !!! The insurance company is wrong.
