How much this varies
48 hospitals across 2 states publish prices for this procedure. Because costs, quality, and insurance networks vary by market, pick your state below to see what hospitals in your area charge.
Screening test prices vary because most insurance plans are required to cover preventive screenings at no cost to you — but only when they're coded as preventive. If your doctor codes the same test as diagnostic (for example, following up on a concerning symptom), you may owe the full negotiated rate. Hospitals also price screenings differently based on whether they're done at the hospital itself, an outpatient clinic, or a mobile screening unit. Before you schedule, ask your doctor how the test will be coded, confirm with your insurance that it will be covered as preventive, and ask the facility whether they offer a cash price if you'd prefer to avoid an insurance claim entirely.
