Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $932 versus $2,152 inpatient (about 2.3× more), so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick. The biggest swing for this procedure is screening versus diagnostic coding - a polyp removed during a routine screening can recode the whole visit as diagnostic and trigger cost-sharing you weren't expecting.

On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.

Why is an endoscopy so much cheaper at some Colorado hospitals?

Prices vary up to 113.2× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Colorado, the median cash (self-pay) price is $937 versus a median negotiated rate of $556 - about 1.7× higher. Asking for the cash price or 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 an endoscopy 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. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.
