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 Richmond, and here's what matters: every facility in the area charges the same cash price of $1,386.50 for this procedure. That uniformity is unusual and good news for you — it means you won't save money by shopping around on price alone. What does vary between hospitals is their insurance billing (what they charge your insurer), so your out-of-pocket cost depends entirely on your plan's deductible and coinsurance. Call your insurance company right now with your policy number and ask what you'll owe for a diagnostic colonoscopy at each hospital system; that's the real number that matters for your wallet.
Before you book, contact the hospital's financial assistance office and ask if you qualify — colonoscopy screening is sometimes fully covered under preventive care even if you haven't met your deductible, depending on your plan type. If you're self-pay without insurance, get the $1,386.50 quote confirmed in writing before your appointment. Ask the scheduling nurse which hospital has the shortest wait time; since price isn't your deciding factor, availability might be.
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.
