Colonoscopy Cost — What Hospitals Charge By Insurer

Your insurance

Prices for colonoscopy at Tampa hospitals range from $705 to $10,585 across all insurers. Rates shown are for diagnostic colonoscopy.

Heads up: If polyps are found and removed during the procedure, your bill upgrades to CPT 45385 — typically 20–40% higher. You won't know which applies until after.

A colonoscopy is a procedure where a doctor uses a flexible camera to examine the inside of your colon. Most start as a diagnostic colonoscopy (45378). If polyps or abnormal tissue are found during the exam, the doctor removes them on the spot — which upgrades the billing code to 45380 (biopsy) or 45385 (polyp removal). You generally won't know which code you'll be billed for until after the procedure.

Tip: Request your hospital's rate for CPT 45378 as your baseline estimate. Budget for 45385 if polyps are likely.
