In the US the answer has been yes/no. With my insurance it's covered, but only after I pay the $3000 annual deductible. I have to get the 'scope and a prostate biopsy every other year. I got the docs to get off my back about it land let me skip a year so I could get them both in the same year. Since they are both about $2000 +or- by getting them both in the same year I save about $1000.
But everyone's experience is different.
I haven't looked into how this might change when I have to get ACA approved insurance next year, or how it will change when I get medicare the year after.
It's so friggin' complicated it makes my head hurt.
