Mississippi has among the highest uninsured rates in the country and one of the lowest Medicaid reimbursement rates, both of which push list prices up to offset uncompensated care. The market is anchored by UMMC (University of Mississippi Medical Center) in Jackson and by Regional One (Memphis area) for the northern tier. Most of the state is served by small community hospitals and critical access facilities.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (6) report prices above $2,227, including Magnolia Regional Health Center at $5,214, 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 $816 versus $1,064 inpatient (about 1.3× 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.

None of the prices above are what you'll necessarily owe: your deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and each provider's network status all still apply.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for an endoscopy in Mississippi?

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.
