About This Procedure
A colonoscopy examines the inside of the colon and rectum using a flexible tube with a camera. Used for cancer screening, polyp detection, and investigating digestive symptoms.
Why do these costs look low?
These figures represent Medicaid reimbursement rates — the amounts that state Medicaid programs actually paid providers. Medicaid typically reimburses significantly less than private insurance or out-of-pocket prices. If you have private insurance or are paying cash, expect higher costs. See the cost components below for per-code averages.
