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 43239EGD 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 43239 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 43239 (EGD with biopsy), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 43239 covers: the provider's professional fee for upper endoscopy 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 EGD with Biopsy Visit Costs Vary Across New Hampshire

New Hampshire's healthcare costs run about 11% above the national average, driven by the state's small population spread across both rural areas and concentrated urban centers like Manchester and Nashua. The state's proximity to high-cost Massachusetts markets also influences pricing, as many specialists practice across state lines.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Most EGD with Biopsy specialists concentrate in the Manchester-Nashua metropolitan area and around Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, leaving rural counties with limited local access. Patients in the North Country or western regions often travel significant distances for specialized gastroenterology care. This geographic disparity creates higher effective costs for rural patients when factoring in travel time and expenses.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Catholic Medical Center, and Elliot Health System operate many hospital-based gastroenterology practices throughout New Hampshire, typically charging higher facility fees than independent practices. Academic medical centers like those affiliated with Dartmouth tend to have the highest overhead costs. Independent gastroenterology groups, particularly in the Seacoast region, often offer more competitive pricing structures.

Insurance Market Competition in New Hampshire

The state's insurance market centers around three main players: Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and Cigna, creating moderate competition that helps control some cost increases. This relatively concentrated market means that negotiated rates for EGD with Biopsy procedures tend to be fairly standardized across the state. Smaller regional insurers and self-funded employer plans may negotiate different rates with local providers.

Physician Supply and Demand in New Hampshire

With over 3,600 active providers performing EGD with Biopsy procedures, New Hampshire maintains adequate gastroenterology capacity relative to its population of 1.4 million residents. This healthy provider-to-population ratio helps keep wait times reasonable and provides patients with multiple options for care. The concentration of specialists around major medical centers, however, can create scheduling bottlenecks in certain geographic areas during peak demand periods.

Frequently Asked Questions — EGD with Biopsy Costs in New Hampshire

What is the average cost of a EGD with Biopsy visit in New Hampshire without insurance?

Self-pay patients in New Hampshire typically pay between $341 and $1,085 for an EGD with Biopsy procedure, with a median cost around $720. Hospital-based facilities generally charge more than independent gastroenterology practices. Many providers offer cash-pay discounts of 20-40% for uninsured patients who pay upfront, potentially reducing costs significantly below these standard rates.

Does New Hampshire Medicaid cover EGD with Biopsy visits?

Yes, New Hampshire expanded Medicaid covers medically necessary EGD with Biopsy procedures when ordered by a physician. Patients typically have minimal out-of-pocket costs, though some may need referrals from their primary care providers first. The expanded Medicaid program has improved access to specialist gastroenterology care for lower-income residents throughout the state.

How do I find an affordable EGD with Biopsy near me in New Hampshire?

Compare costs between independent gastroenterology practices and hospital-based clinics, as independents often charge less. Ask about cash-pay discounts if you're uninsured or have a high-deductible plan. Community health centers in New Hampshire may offer sliding fee scales based on income, and some practices provide payment plans for expensive procedures.

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

Initial EGD with Biopsy consultations typically cost $341-$1,085 based on the complexity of your case and facility type. Follow-up visits for biopsy results or monitoring are generally less expensive, often in the $150-$400 range. The actual procedure cost remains consistent whether it's your first or subsequent endoscopy with the same provider.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a EGD with Biopsy visit in New Hampshire?

Yes, EGD with Biopsy procedures qualify as eligible medical expenses for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). You can use these pre-tax dollars for the consultation, procedure, and any related pathology fees. Keep all receipts and documentation for reimbursement or direct payment from your account.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a EGD with Biopsy in New Hampshire?

While the actual EGD procedure must be performed in person, many New Hampshire gastroenterologists offer telemedicine consultations for initial evaluations or follow-up visits to review biopsy results. These virtual visits typically cost $100-$250, less than in-person consultations. Telemedicine can be particularly valuable for rural New Hampshire patients who would otherwise travel long distances for routine follow-ups.
