Common questions

How much does screening colonoscopy cost?
Screening colonoscopy cash prices on cleartau range from $589 to $6,797 (10th–90th percentile) across 192 US hospitals, with a median of $1,598. Individual hospital prices vary widely; the per-hospital table below shows the spread.
What's included in the screening colonoscopy package?
A preventive colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer in an asymptomatic patient. Routinely recommended starting age 45. Typically covered at no cost-share under most plans when billed as screening, but anesthesia is often billed separately by an independent anesthesia group.
What's typically billed separately for screening colonoscopy?
These components are usually billed by a different provider on a separate invoice: anesthesia. They're still part of the episode of care.
How does the screening colonoscopy package price get calculated?
Cleartau sums per-component representative prices across the procedure, facility, anesthesia, and (where applicable) implant lines. The package median equals the sum of per-component medians; min and max work the same way. When a hospital publishes a formula (e.g. "150% of Medicare") instead of a dollar amount, the formula is resolved against the matching CMS fee schedule before aggregation.
