How to choose where to get Colonoscopy
The cash-pay range on this page is $53.47-$1,192.01. Before you book, use these steps to find out which setting a quote comes from and what it includes.
Step by step
- Ask your surgeon which facilities they operate at, and whether an ambulatory surgery center is an option for you.
- Ask each facility for a bundled self-pay price and a written list of what it covers: the facility, the surgeon, anesthesia, and any pathology, implants or follow-up visits. Anything not on the list can arrive as a separate bill.
- Check the hospital's own price list. Under the CMS Hospital Price Transparency rule, every US hospital must publish its standard charges, including its discounted cash price, and a consumer-friendly list of shoppable services. Source: CMS, hospital price transparency
- If you are uninsured or paying without insurance, ask each provider for a Good Faith Estimate. Under the No Surprises Act, providers generally must give you one when you schedule at least 3 business days ahead, or when you ask. Source: CMS, medical bill rights
- Ask about financial assistance. Tax-exempt nonprofit hospitals must have a written financial assistance policy, and you generally have at least 240 days from the first post-discharge billing statement to apply. Source: IRS, financial assistance policies
- Keep every estimate. If a provider or facility bills you at least $400 more than its Good Faith Estimate, you can start the federal patient-provider dispute process for a bill dated within the last 120 days. The fee is $25. Source: CMS, dispute a bill
Care settings compared
| Setting | How it typically bills | What to ask for | When it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ambulatory surgery center | A facility fee, with the surgeon and anesthesia often billed separately unless the price is a bundle. | A bundled self-pay price and a written list of what it includes. | Scheduled outpatient procedures when your surgeon considers you a good candidate. |
| Hospital outpatient department | A hospital facility charge, plus separate bills from the surgeon, anesthesia and any pathology. | The discounted cash price from the hospital's price list, and each professional group's self-pay rate. | When your health history calls for hospital backup, or your surgeon operates only there. |
