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 Oregon
Oregon's healthcare costs run approximately 9% above the national average, influenced by the state's high cost of living in metropolitan areas and the challenges of serving remote rural populations. The state's geography creates distinct healthcare markets, from competitive urban centers to underserved eastern counties with limited provider options.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Oregon's colonoscopy providers concentrate heavily in the Portland-Vancouver metro area and the Willamette Valley, while eastern Oregon counties often require patients to travel significant distances for specialist care. This geographic disparity creates cost variations, as rural providers may charge premium rates due to limited competition, while urban areas benefit from multiple health systems competing for patients.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Oregon's major health systems including OHSU, Legacy Health, and PeaceHealth operate hospital-based outpatient centers that typically charge higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers. The state's growing network of freestanding endoscopy centers offers competitive pricing, particularly in Portland and Salem where multiple options exist within reasonable driving distances.
Insurance Market Competition in Oregon
Oregon's insurance landscape features moderate competition with Regence BlueCross BlueShield holding significant market share alongside PacificSource and UnitedHealthcare, creating negotiated rate variations across different plans. The state's active marketplace and Medicaid expansion have increased insurer participation, though rural areas may have fewer plan options, affecting negotiated rates for specialty procedures like colonoscopies.
Physician Supply and Demand in Oregon
With 348 active colonoscopy providers serving Oregon's 4.2 million residents, the state maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply distribution affects both pricing and wait times, as rural patients may pay travel costs to access care in urban centers, while metropolitan areas benefit from competitive pricing due to provider density.
