Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (10) report prices above $1,850, including Kindred Hospital Aurora at $5,835, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $611 versus $516 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

What you pay out of pocket on top of this depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved is in-network - not just the facility.

In Colorado, the median cash (self-pay) price is $612 versus a median negotiated rate of $288 - about 2.1× higher. Asking for the cash price as well as your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a cystoscopy in Colorado?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price.
