Medicare will cover a colonoscopy screening one every 2 years if you're considered to be at high risk for colon cancer.
If your doctor accepts assignment, Medicare would cover the screening at 100% (you pay nothing). If your doctor does not accept assignment, then Medicare will cover 80% of the expenses. You would be responsible for the other 20% and the part B deductible may apply. A Medigap plan F can cover the other 20% of expenses and part B deductible if your doctor doesn't accept assignment.
I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for help and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.
