Direct Access Colonoscopy Program
NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia University Irving Medical Center
Provider publishes self-request
Eligible patients may receive a screening colonoscopy without an initial office visit and can contact the listed location directly.
Qualifying clinic patients may fast-track the procedure without a gastroenterology pre-consultation; published criteria include having a Kelsey-Seybold primary care physician.
The provider publishes a direct-access route for patients whose primary care clinician has determined that a procedure is required and sends the requested referral material.
Direct or open access usually means a provider reviews eligibility without requiring a separate gastroenterology consultation first. It never means everyone is automatically suitable.

Use the official provider page or phone number. The provider makes every medical, insurance and scheduling decision.
The useful work here is not telling people what to do. It is putting the doors in one place.
Hospitals and gastroenterology groups use different names for similar pathways: direct access, open access, direct scheduling and fast-track colonoscopy. The details vary, and those details matter.
Colonoscopists.com records only what the provider publishes, shows when it was checked, and sends you back to the provider. It does not ask for symptoms, insurance numbers, dates of birth or medical history.
Screening is broader than colonoscopy.Current U.S. guidance includes several screening options. A clinician can help you choose what fits your health, risk and preferences. Read the medical disclaimer.
