About Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is a procedure in which a flexible camera is used to examine the entire colon and rectum. It is used to screen for colorectal cancer (recommended starting at age 45), investigate digestive symptoms, and remove precancerous polyps. The procedure requires bowel preparation the day before and typically takes 30-60 minutes.
Understanding Your Bill
Colonoscopy billing includes the procedure, facility fee, anesthesia/sedation, and pathology if polyps are removed. A screening colonoscopy may be covered at no cost under the ACA, but if polyps are found and removed, it may be reclassified as diagnostic and subject to cost-sharing.
How to Save on Your Colonoscopy
Compare Cash Prices
Cash prices can be 50-80% lower than insurance rates. Always ask for the self-pay price before booking.
Consider Imaging Centers
Freestanding imaging centers often charge much less than hospitals for the same exact scan.
Submit to Insurance
Even if you pay cash, submit a claim. It still counts toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
