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 Nevada
Nevada's healthcare costs run approximately 8% above the national average, driven by rapid population growth and limited specialist availability outside major metropolitan areas. The state's growing ambulatory surgery center market in Las Vegas has created competitive pricing pressure on traditional hospital-based endoscopy programs.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Las Vegas and Reno concentrate most of Nevada's gastroenterology specialists, while rural counties like Esmeralda and Mineral have no local providers. Patients in Elko, Ely, or Winnemucca often travel 200+ miles for Colonoscopy with Biopsy procedures, adding transportation costs. This geographic disparity creates a two-tier pricing system where rural patients may pay more despite lower regional cost of living.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Nevada's major health systems like Renown Health in Reno and Sunrise Health in Las Vegas operate hospital-based endoscopy centers with higher overhead costs. Independent ambulatory surgery centers have proliferated in Las Vegas, offering competitive pricing without hospital facility fees. Academic medical centers like UNR Med typically charge teaching hospital rates but may offer sliding-scale programs.
Insurance Market Competition in Nevada
Strong competition among UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, and Aetna has kept negotiated rates relatively competitive compared to single-insurer markets. Nevada's ACA marketplace includes multiple carrier options in urban areas, though rural counties may have limited choices. Self-funded employer plans often have the most favorable gastroenterology networks and lowest patient cost-sharing.
Physician Supply and Demand in Nevada
With 2,781 providers performing Colonoscopy with Biopsy procedures, Nevada has adequate specialist availability in urban areas but shortages in rural regions. The state's rapid population growth has strained gastroenterology capacity, particularly for routine screening colonoscopies. High demand allows established practices to maintain premium pricing, while newer physicians and ASCs compete on cost and convenience.
