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 Wyoming
Wyoming's colonoscopy costs run approximately 8% above national averages, reflecting the challenges of delivering specialized healthcare across the nation's least populous state. The state's rural geography and limited provider competition contribute to higher overhead costs and reduced pricing pressure compared to more densely populated markets.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Wyoming's colonoscopy providers concentrate primarily in Cheyenne, Casper, and Laramie, leaving vast rural areas underserved and requiring patients to travel significant distances for procedures. This geographic disparity creates higher effective costs for rural patients who must factor in travel, lodging, and time off work when accessing screening services.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient departments in Wyoming typically charge higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers, though rural areas may lack standalone endoscopy centers. Major health systems like Banner Health and Cheyenne Regional Medical Center dominate the market, with their pricing power reflecting limited local competition.
Insurance Market Competition in Wyoming
The concentrated insurance market with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna as dominant players limits competitive pressure on negotiated rates. This market structure allows insurers significant leverage in rate negotiations, though the limited provider options also give hospitals and specialists some pricing power.
Physician Supply and Demand in Wyoming
With 184 active colonoscopy providers serving approximately 580,000 residents, Wyoming maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply-demand imbalance contributes to longer wait times and higher costs in underserved areas, while urban markets see more competitive pricing.
