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 45385 — Colonoscopy with removal of polyps by snare). 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 Polyp Removal Visit Costs Vary Across Florida
Florida's healthcare costs run approximately 2% above the national average for Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures, driven by the state's large retiree population and extensive ASC infrastructure. The state's position as the nation's largest ASC market creates both competitive pricing pressures and premium facility options in major metropolitan areas.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
South Florida, Tampa Bay, and Jacksonville metro areas have high concentrations of gastroenterologists and ASCs, creating competitive pricing environments. Rural counties in North Florida and the interior often have limited specialist access, requiring patients to travel to larger cities for Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures. This geographic imbalance can increase total costs when factoring in travel and time off work.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Florida's ASC-friendly regulations have created a robust independent surgery center market that often provides lower-cost alternatives to hospital outpatient departments. Major health systems like AdventHealth, HCA Florida, and Baptist Health operate hospital-based gastroenterology programs with higher facility fees. Independent ASCs typically offer more competitive pricing due to lower overhead costs and focused efficiency.
Insurance Market Competition in Florida
The dominance of UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, and Aetna creates a moderately competitive market with standardized negotiated rates. Florida Blue's strong market position in certain regions gives it significant leverage in rate negotiations with providers. The absence of a state all-payer claims database limits price transparency, though individual insurers publish negotiated rates under federal requirements.
Physician Supply and Demand in Florida
With nearly 5,000 providers performing Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures, Florida has robust specialist availability relative to its population size. This supply adequacy helps moderate pricing in most markets, though high-demand areas like Naples and Key West may see premium pricing. The large volume of procedures performed annually also drives efficiency improvements that can reduce per-case costs.
