A member asked:

What is the procedure for getting a prostate exam? what type of insurance coverage would i need? do they put you to sleep to do the exam? i am afraid.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Simple: Go to your doctor and the initial exam is a rectal exam to feel the prostate, if needed a blood test can be done as part of your insurance, and if there's anything abnormal a referral to the specialist can then be made. These should all be part of your care under your insurance minus the deductibles and copays.
