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 Indiana
Indiana's healthcare costs run approximately 6% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and competitive ambulatory surgery center market. The concentration of major health systems in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne creates pricing competition that benefits patients seeking Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures throughout the state.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Indianapolis metro area hosts the highest concentration of gastroenterologists and endoscopy facilities, while rural counties in southern and northern Indiana have limited specialist availability. Patients in rural areas often travel to regional centers like Evansville, Fort Wayne, or South Bend for Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures. This urban-rural divide can create access barriers and transportation costs for patients in agricultural counties.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Indiana University Health, Community Health Network, and Franciscan Health operate hospital-based endoscopy centers with higher facility fees due to hospital overhead costs. Independent ambulatory surgery centers throughout Indiana typically offer 20-30% lower facility fees for Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures. Many gastroenterology practices have invested in office-based endoscopy suites to provide cost-effective screening options.
Insurance Market Competition in Indiana
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield maintains the largest market share among commercial insurers, followed by UnitedHealthcare and smaller regional carriers. Limited insurer competition in rural counties can result in higher premium costs and narrower provider networks. MDwise serves as the primary Medicaid managed care organization, creating additional network considerations for eligible patients.
Physician Supply and Demand in Indiana
With 351 active providers performing Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures, Indiana maintains adequate specialist supply in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. The Indiana University School of Medicine gastroenterology fellowship program helps maintain physician supply for the state. High demand for screening colonoscopies as baby boomers age has created scheduling challenges at some practices, potentially affecting procedure timing and costs.
