Colonoscopy only costs $500-600 at government hospitals

Colonoscopy isn't offered as part of normal health screening.
One need to have blood in stools like Talent's recent case.
And doing so can cause insurance coy to exclude this colon coverage when one buys a health insurance within the next 5 years.

This China Sichuan lady paid a mere RMB980 (S$200) for her colonoscopy.
Very fast appointment too as she had walked in on a Thu to consult doc and got her scope date the next Mon.
