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 Wyoming

Wyoming's Upper Endoscopy costs average approximately 5% below national rates at $288 median, reflecting the state's lower cost of living but limited specialist competition. The state's vast rural geography and small population create unique market dynamics where provider scarcity in some regions drives up costs while lower overhead in others keeps prices competitive.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Most of Wyoming's Upper Endoscopy specialists concentrate in Cheyenne, Casper, and Jackson, leaving residents in counties like Niobrara and Hot Springs traveling significant distances for care. Rural patients often face higher total costs when factoring in travel expenses, overnight stays, and time off work, while urban areas benefit from more competitive pricing among multiple providers.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based outpatient clinics dominate Wyoming's Upper Endoscopy market, with major health systems like Banner Health and Wyoming Medical Center setting regional pricing standards. Independent endoscopy centers offer lower-cost alternatives in urban areas but are virtually nonexistent in rural counties, limiting patient choice and price competition.

Insurance Market Competition in Wyoming

The concentrated insurance market featuring primarily Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna results in less aggressive rate negotiations compared to more competitive states. This limited insurer competition, combined with Wyoming's small population, gives providers more leverage in contract negotiations, potentially leading to higher negotiated rates for Upper Endoscopy procedures.

Physician Supply and Demand in Wyoming

With 176 active Upper Endoscopy providers serving Wyoming's 580,000 residents, the state maintains adequate specialist coverage in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This uneven distribution creates pricing disparities where underserved areas command premium rates while urban markets with multiple providers offer more competitive pricing and shorter wait times.

Frequently Asked Questions — Upper Endoscopy Costs in Wyoming

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

Without insurance, Upper Endoscopy visits in Wyoming range from $161 to $864, with a median cost of $288 based on negotiated insurance rates. Self-pay patients should expect to pay closer to the higher end of this range, though many providers offer cash discounts that can reduce costs by 20-40%. Rural facilities may charge more due to higher overhead costs and limited competition.

Does Wyoming Medicaid cover Upper Endoscopy visits?

Wyoming did not expand Medicaid, limiting coverage to very low-income families, pregnant women, children, and disabled individuals. For eligible recipients, Wyoming Medicaid does cover medically necessary Upper Endoscopy procedures when performed by enrolled providers. Adults without children earning above 54% of the federal poverty level typically don't qualify for Medicaid coverage in Wyoming.

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

Compare costs among the 176 Upper Endoscopy providers across Wyoming, focusing on independent endoscopy centers rather than hospital-based facilities when available. Ask about self-pay discounts, payment plans, and sliding scale fees. Community health centers in larger cities like Cheyenne and Casper may offer reduced-cost specialist referrals for qualifying patients.

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

Initial Upper Endoscopy consultations typically cost more than follow-up visits, as they involve comprehensive evaluation and procedure planning. The median cost of $288 represents the actual endoscopic procedure (CPT 43235), while consultation visits may range from $150-300 depending on complexity. Follow-up visits for discussing results or surveillance planning generally cost 30-50% less than the initial procedure.

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

Yes, Upper Endoscopy visits qualify as eligible medical expenses for both Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). This includes the procedure cost, consultation fees, pathology charges for any biopsies, and related travel expenses if you must travel more than 50 miles for care. Keep all receipts for reimbursement documentation.

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

While the actual Upper Endoscopy procedure requires in-person care, initial consultations and follow-up appointments can often be conducted via telemedicine at reduced costs. Wyoming's rural geography makes telehealth particularly valuable, with virtual consultations typically costing $75-150 compared to in-person visits. This can help reduce travel costs and time off work for rural patients.
