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 45380Colonoscopy with biopsy). 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 45380 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 45380 (Colonoscopy with biopsy), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 45380 covers: the provider's professional fee for colonoscopy with biopsy. 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 with Biopsy 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 ASC market. The growing number of independent endoscopy centers has increased price competition, particularly in metropolitan areas like Indianapolis and Fort Wayne.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Indiana's major metropolitan areas like Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville have multiple gastroenterology options and ASCs, creating competitive pricing. Rural counties often have limited specialist access, requiring patients to travel to regional medical centers or rely on visiting physicians. This geographic disparity can affect both wait times and procedure costs across the state.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Indiana's major health systems like Indiana University Health, Community Health Network, and Parkview Health operate hospital-based endoscopy centers with higher overhead costs. Independent ASCs and physician-owned facilities typically offer lower facility fees due to reduced administrative costs and more efficient operations. The state's growing ASC market has intensified competition in urban areas.

Insurance Market Competition in Indiana

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield holds the largest market share in Indiana, followed by UnitedHealthcare and MDwise, creating moderate insurer competition. The concentration of market power among these three carriers affects negotiated rates with providers. Some rural areas have limited insurer options, which can result in higher negotiated rates due to reduced competition.

Physician Supply and Demand in Indiana

With 390 active providers offering colonoscopy with biopsy services, Indiana has reasonable specialist availability relative to its population of 6.8 million residents. This supply level helps maintain competitive pricing and reasonable wait times in most areas. However, some rural regions still experience gastroenterologist shortages, potentially affecting access and scheduling flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions — Colonoscopy with Biopsy Costs in Indiana

What is the average cost of a Colonoscopy with Biopsy visit in Indiana without insurance?

Without insurance, colonoscopy with biopsy procedures in Indiana typically range from $80 to $937, with a median cost of $365. The final amount depends on the facility type, with hospital-based endoscopy centers generally charging more than independent ASCs. Many providers offer cash-pay discounts of 20-40% for uninsured patients who pay upfront.

Does Indiana Medicaid cover Colonoscopy with Biopsy visits?

Indiana chose not to expand Medicaid, limiting coverage to traditional eligibility categories like pregnant women, disabled individuals, and very low-income families with children. For those who qualify, Indiana Medicaid does cover medically necessary colonoscopy with biopsy procedures with minimal patient cost-sharing. Uninsured adults who don't qualify for Medicaid should explore community health center options or provider payment plans.

How do I find an affordable Colonoscopy with Biopsy near me in Indiana?

Compare prices between hospital-based facilities and independent ASCs, as the latter typically offer lower costs. Ask about cash-pay discounts if you're uninsured or have a high-deductible plan. Community health systems and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) often provide sliding fee scales based on income. Shopping around can save hundreds of dollars on the same procedure.

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

Based on the available data, the colonoscopy with biopsy procedure itself ranges from $80 to $937 with a median of $365 in Indiana. Initial gastroenterology consultations typically cost more than follow-up visits due to the comprehensive evaluation required. However, the procedure cost remains consistent regardless of whether it's your first visit or follow-up with the same provider.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a Colonoscopy with Biopsy visit in Indiana?

Yes, colonoscopy with biopsy procedures are qualified medical expenses eligible for HSA and FSA reimbursement. You can use these tax-advantaged accounts to pay for the procedure, related consultations, and associated pathology fees. Keep all receipts and documentation for reimbursement or tax purposes, as these accounts can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a Colonoscopy with Biopsy in Indiana?

While the actual colonoscopy procedure must be performed in-person, telemedicine consultations can reduce overall costs for initial evaluations, post-procedure follow-ups, or result discussions. Many Indiana gastroenterologists offer virtual visits at lower rates than office visits, typically $75-150. This can be particularly valuable for patients in rural areas who would otherwise travel long distances for routine follow-up appointments.
