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 New Hampshire
New Hampshire's healthcare costs exceed national averages by roughly 11%, driven by the state's limited insurer competition and higher-than-average physician compensation rates. The concentration of medical facilities along the I-93 corridor from Manchester to the Seacoast creates pricing premiums compared to North Country and western rural regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Manchester and Nashua host the majority of New Hampshire's gastroenterology specialists, with limited access in the North Country and Connecticut River Valley regions. Rural patients often travel significant distances for colonoscopy procedures, though some community hospitals now offer visiting specialist services to improve access and reduce travel-related costs.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and Catholic Medical Center operate higher-cost hospital-based endoscopy suites, while independent practices like New Hampshire Gastroenterology typically offer more competitive pricing. Ambulatory surgery centers in the state provide a middle-ground option, balancing advanced equipment with lower overhead compared to hospital facilities.
Insurance Market Competition in New Hampshire
Anthem's market dominance, alongside Harvard Pilgrim and Cigna, creates limited insurer competition that can result in higher negotiated rates for specialized procedures. The state's smaller commercial market means providers have less leverage in rate negotiations compared to larger states, contributing to above-average procedure costs.
Physician Supply and Demand in New Hampshire
With 3,676 providers performing colonoscopy procedures statewide, New Hampshire maintains adequate specialist availability in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply imbalance allows urban specialists to maintain higher rates while creating access challenges that may require patients to travel or wait longer for appointments.
