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 45385Colonoscopy 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.

Where this data comes from & what CPT 45385 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 45385 (Colonoscopy with removal of polyps by snare), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 45385 covers: the provider's professional fee for colonoscopy with polyp removal. It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.

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 Oregon

Oregon's healthcare costs run approximately 9% above national averages, driven by the state's concentrated urban markets around Portland and Eugene contrasted with vast rural areas lacking specialist access. This geographic reality creates significant cost and access disparities across the state.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

The Portland metro area contains the majority of Oregon's Colonoscopy Polyp Removal specialists, creating competitive pricing but requiring rural patients to travel significant distances. Eastern Oregon counties often have limited or no local gastroenterology services, forcing patients to seek care in Bend, Portland, or neighboring states.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Oregon Health & Science University and Providence Health dominate the hospital market, often charging higher facility fees than independent ambulatory surgery centers. Portland's competitive ASC market provides lower-cost alternatives, while rural areas rely more heavily on hospital-based outpatient services.

Insurance Market Competition in Oregon

With Regence BCBS, PacificSource, and UHC controlling most of the commercial market, Oregon maintains moderate insurer competition that helps contain negotiated rates. The state's lack of a comprehensive all-payer claims database limits price transparency efforts compared to neighboring Washington.

Physician Supply and Demand in Oregon

Oregon's 355 active Colonoscopy Polyp Removal providers serve a population of over 4.2 million, indicating adequate specialist supply in urban areas but potential shortages in rural regions. This supply distribution affects pricing, with rural providers often commanding premium rates due to limited competition and higher overhead costs.

Frequently Asked Questions — Colonoscopy Polyp Removal Costs in Oregon

What is the average cost of a Colonoscopy Polyp Removal visit in Oregon without insurance?

Without insurance, Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures in Oregon range from $80 to $3,638, with a median cost of $453 based on actual negotiated rates from 355 providers statewide. Self-pay patients should expect to pay the higher end of this range without negotiated discounts. Many Oregon providers offer cash-pay discounts of 20-40% and payment plan options for uninsured patients.

Does Oregon Medicaid cover Colonoscopy Polyp Removal visits?

Yes, Oregon's expanded Medicaid program covers medically necessary Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures with minimal patient cost-sharing. Coverage includes both screening procedures for eligible patients and therapeutic polyp removal when recommended by a physician. Patients may need a referral from their primary care provider depending on their specific Medicaid managed care plan.

How do I find an affordable Colonoscopy Polyp Removal near me in Oregon?

Compare costs across different facility types, as ambulatory surgery centers often charge less than hospital-based clinics for the same procedure. Ask about cash-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider community health centers in your area. Rural patients may find lower facility fees outside major metro areas, though travel costs should be factored into the total expense.

What is the difference in cost between an initial consultation and a follow-up visit?

Initial consultations with gastroenterologists typically cost more than follow-up visits due to the comprehensive evaluation required. The actual polyp removal procedure represents the largest cost component, ranging from $80 to $3,638 in Oregon depending on complexity and facility type. Follow-up visits for monitoring after polyp removal are generally much less expensive than the initial procedure.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a Colonoscopy Polyp Removal visit in Oregon?

Yes, Colonoscopy Polyp Removal procedures qualify as eligible medical expenses for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). This includes the procedure itself, related physician fees, and necessary follow-up care. Using pre-tax dollars through these accounts can provide significant savings on your out-of-pocket costs.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a Colonoscopy Polyp Removal in Oregon?

While the actual polyp removal procedure requires in-person care, initial consultations and follow-up appointments can often be conducted via telemedicine at lower cost. Oregon's telehealth expansion during the pandemic has made virtual consultations more accessible and affordable. However, any diagnostic procedures or actual polyp removal must be performed in a medical facility with appropriate equipment.
