Facility options

Start here when choosing where to get care. These facilities either appear in Medicare billing data for this procedure or list the procedure on their website. The prices shown are Medicare facility allowed amounts when available, and badges call out the strongest options by price and Medicare volume.

Facility prices can look much higher than the provider prices below because they represent the facility-side Medicare amount for the place where the procedure is performed. A colonoscopy bill may also include separate professional, anesthesia, pathology, or other charges.

This list only includes facilities we can tie to both a local service signal and a facility-level price source. Other local GI practices may offer or schedule this procedure, but they stay in the provider list or review queue until we can match them to a facility price.

How this works

Price information comes from the 2025 CMS Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners - by Provider and Service report. Prices reflect Medicare-approved amounts, not a personal bill estimate, hospital cash price, or private insurance rate.

This comparison uses the most common care setting. Other settings are excluded.

Only provider records with enough procedure volume are included. Facility options are listed separately when the source data contains direct facility billing records for the service.

A blue star marks providers whose procedure volume is in the top 25% of included providers on this page.

Prices reflect Medicare-approved amounts and may differ from what you personally pay.

Thresholds: at least 10 providers, at least 500 services, and a p75/p25 ratio of at least 1.25.
