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 45380 — Colonoscopy 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.

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 Mississippi
Mississippi's healthcare costs run approximately 14% below national averages for Colonoscopy with Biopsy procedures, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and physician compensation rates. However, the state's predominantly rural geography creates significant access challenges, with many residents traveling hours to reach specialized gastroenterology services.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Jackson metropolitan area and Gulf Coast region concentrate most of Mississippi's gastroenterology specialists, while the rural Mississippi Delta has limited access to Colonoscopy with Biopsy services. This geographic maldistribution forces rural patients to travel significant distances, though they may find lower procedure costs at independent clinics compared to academic medical centers.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient departments in Mississippi typically charge facility fees on top of physician fees, increasing total costs by $200-500 compared to ambulatory surgery centers. The University of Mississippi Medical Center and other health systems dominate urban markets, while independent gastroenterology practices often offer more competitive pricing structures.
Insurance Market Competition in Mississippi
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi controls a large market share alongside UnitedHealthCare and Magnolia Health Plan, creating limited insurer competition that affects negotiated rates. This concentrated market means fewer network options for patients and less pressure on providers to offer competitive cash-pay rates compared to more competitive insurance markets.
Physician Supply and Demand in Mississippi
With over 1,300 active Colonoscopy with Biopsy providers serving Mississippi's population, the state has reasonable specialist availability in urban areas but significant shortages in rural regions. This uneven distribution creates longer wait times and higher costs in underserved areas, while urban competition helps keep prices below national averages.
