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.

PackagesOutpatient

Screening colonoscopy

Preventive colon cancer screening colonoscopy.

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 included

Each component is a category of charge that contributes to the total bill. Items marked “billed separately” are still part of the episode, but you'll receive that bill from a different provider.
