What affects the price of colonoscopy?

A camera exam of the large intestine, used to screen for colon cancer and investigate digestive symptoms.

  • How you pay: cash (self-pay) prices are often lower than insurer-negotiated rates, and the hospital's gross "list price" is rarely what anyone actually pays.
  • Your insurance plan: each insurer negotiates its own rate with each hospital, so the same procedure can vary by thousands of dollars across plans.
  • Where it's done: hospital outpatient departments usually charge more than independent imaging centers or ambulatory surgery centers.
  • Extra services: anesthesia, pathology, facility fees, and physician fees may be billed separately from the listed procedure price.
  • Complexity: complications or additional findings during the procedure can change the final bill.
