Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.
The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 45378 — Diagnostic colonoscopy, flexible). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.
Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.
This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.

How to read this data
Negotiated Rate
The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.
P5, Median, P95
P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.
What this does not tell you
These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.
Why Colonoscopy Visit Costs Vary Across Connecticut
Healthcare costs in Connecticut run approximately 14% above national averages, driven by the state's concentration of prestigious medical institutions and higher operational expenses. The state's compact geography creates unique market dynamics where patients can easily travel between urban medical centers and suburban specialty practices.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Connecticut's urban corridors from Hartford to New Haven concentrate most specialty providers, while rural areas in the northwest and eastern regions have limited options. This geographic distribution forces some patients to travel significant distances for specialized care, potentially affecting both access and pricing. Urban practices benefit from higher patient volumes but face elevated overhead costs compared to suburban counterparts.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Connecticut's healthcare landscape includes major academic medical centers like Yale-New Haven and Hartford Hospital alongside numerous community hospitals and independent practices. Hospital-owned specialty clinics typically charge facility fees that can double the total visit cost compared to independent physician offices. The state's high real estate and operational costs particularly impact hospital-based practices in urban areas.
Insurance Market Competition in Connecticut
Anthem, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare dominate Connecticut's commercial insurance market, creating moderate competition that influences negotiated rates with providers. The presence of multiple major insurers prevents any single company from dictating pricing terms entirely. This competitive environment generally benefits patients through more reasonable negotiated rates compared to monopolistic markets.
Physician Supply and Demand in Connecticut
With over 400 active Colonoscopy providers serving Connecticut's 3.6 million residents, the state maintains adequate specialist availability relative to population. This healthy provider-to-patient ratio helps moderate pricing pressure while maintaining reasonable appointment availability. The concentration of medical training programs in Connecticut continues to attract specialists to practice in the state.
