What this price typically doesn't include
Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:
- Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
- Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
- Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
- Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
- Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient
Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

Before you schedule
You're looking at diagnostic colonoscopies in Newport News, and here's what matters most: every facility in your area is pricing the cash-pay option identically at $1,164.50. This means there's no savings opportunity by shopping around on price alone—what you'll actually pay depends entirely on your insurance coverage and deductible, not which hospital you choose. That said, your out-of-pocket cost could be zero if your insurance covers preventive screening colonoscopies at 100 percent, which most plans do under the Affordable Care Act. Call your insurance company right now and ask specifically whether diagnostic colonoscopy is covered with zero patient cost before you schedule anything.
Your next move is to confirm your procedure is actually covered as preventive screening rather than diagnostic, since that distinction changes your cost dramatically. When you call to schedule, ask the billing department whether your insurance classifies your colonoscopy as preventive (usually free) or diagnostic (usually subject to your deductible). If you're uninsured or underinsured, ask about financial assistance programs at whichever facility you choose—they may be able to reduce or waive the $1,164.50 based on your household income.
Questions to ask when you call
Before scheduling, call the hospital's billing department. These are the exact questions that get you the answers you need.
"What is your cash price for Colonoscopy Diagnostic?"
If you haven't met your deductible, the cash price may be lower than what your insurance negotiates. Many hospitals will honor their published cash price if you ask.
"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"
Get a written estimate. Ask them to include your deductible status and coinsurance percentage. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and you're legally entitled to one.
"Are there any other charges I should expect — radiologist, anesthesiologist, or facility fees?"
These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
