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 43235EGD, diagnostic). 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 43235 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 43235 (EGD, diagnostic), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 43235 covers: the provider's professional fee for upper endoscopy (egd). 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 Upper Endoscopy Visit Costs Vary Across New Hampshire

New Hampshire's healthcare costs run 11% above the national average, driven by the state's proximity to high-cost Boston medical markets and limited provider competition in rural northern regions. The Granite State's geography creates distinct cost disparities between southern urban areas near Massachusetts and remote northern counties with fewer specialist options.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Southern New Hampshire cities like Manchester, Nashua, and Portsmouth have concentrated gastroenterology practices and multiple endoscopy centers, creating competitive pricing for Upper Endoscopy procedures. Rural areas in the North Country and western regions have limited specialist access, often requiring patients to travel significant distances and potentially pay higher costs due to reduced provider competition.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

New Hampshire's healthcare landscape includes major systems like Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Catholic Medical Center, which operate hospital-based endoscopy units with higher overhead costs than independent facilities. Ambulatory surgery centers and dedicated endoscopy centers throughout the state typically offer more competitive Upper Endoscopy pricing due to lower facility fees and operational costs.

Insurance Market Competition in New Hampshire

The state's insurance market is dominated by Anthem, Harvard Pilgrim, and Cigna, creating moderate competition that affects negotiated rates for Upper Endoscopy procedures. This concentrated market structure can limit pricing pressure on providers, particularly in areas where certain insurers have stronger network positions with major health systems.

Physician Supply and Demand in New Hampshire

With over 3,600 Upper Endoscopy providers serving New Hampshire's population of approximately 1.4 million residents, the state maintains adequate specialist access in urban areas. However, the concentration of gastroenterologists in southern regions creates supply-demand imbalances that can affect pricing and appointment availability, particularly for patients in rural northern counties.

Frequently Asked Questions — Upper Endoscopy Costs in New Hampshire

What is the average cost of a Upper Endoscopy visit in New Hampshire without insurance?

Self-pay patients in New Hampshire typically pay between $288 and $813 for Upper Endoscopy procedures, with a median cost of $541 based on negotiated insurance rates. Many providers offer cash-pay discounts of 20-40% off these standard rates. Independent endoscopy centers often provide more affordable options than hospital-based facilities for uninsured patients.

Does New Hampshire Medicaid cover Upper Endoscopy visits?

Yes, New Hampshire's expanded Medicaid program covers medically necessary Upper Endoscopy procedures for eligible adults up to 138% of the federal poverty level. Coverage includes both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy services when ordered by a physician. Prior authorization may be required, so patients should verify coverage requirements before scheduling their procedure.

How do I find an affordable Upper Endoscopy near me in New Hampshire?

Compare costs between independent endoscopy centers and hospital outpatient departments, as independent facilities often charge lower facility fees. Ask about self-pay discounts and payment plans, which are commonly available throughout New Hampshire. Community health centers and federally qualified health centers may offer sliding-scale pricing based on income for uninsured patients.

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

Initial gastroenterology consultations typically cost more than the Upper Endoscopy procedure itself, often ranging from $300-500 depending on complexity and provider. Follow-up visits after Upper Endoscopy are generally less expensive, usually $150-300 for routine post-procedure care. The actual endoscopy procedure costs between $288-813 based on our negotiated rate data from New Hampshire providers.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a Upper Endoscopy visit in New Hampshire?

Yes, Upper Endoscopy procedures are qualified medical expenses eligible for Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) reimbursement. This includes both the physician fees and facility costs associated with the endoscopy. Keep all receipts and documentation, as these accounts require proper documentation for tax-advantaged healthcare spending.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a Upper Endoscopy in New Hampshire?

While Upper Endoscopy procedures require in-person visits, initial consultations and follow-up appointments can often be conducted via telemedicine at reduced costs. Virtual consultations typically cost $100-200 less than in-office visits and are widely available throughout New Hampshire. Many gastroenterologists use telemedicine for pre-procedure consultations and post-procedure follow-ups to reduce overall care costs.
