Performing AI-assisted colonoscopies takes no additional time and does not affect insurance coverage. 

“Ninety percent of patients with colon cancer will beat it if it’s caught early. A screening assisted with artificial intelligence is another way for patients to stack the odds in their favor of catching precancerous polyps before disease advances and spreads to the lymph nodes,” Gregory Lam, DO, a physician at Cincinnati GI, said in the release. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
