"A simple colonoscopy costs about $675, says Carmela Adam, billing supervisor at Gastroenterology Associates of Central Florida. A biopsy or polyp removal increases the cost to $725 and $900, respectively, more if hospitalization is required."\n\nhttp://www.personalmd.com/news/n0320052534.shtml\n\nIf you do not have insurance, call around to different facilities in your area.  I am in medical imaging, and costs vary GREATLY from facility to facility.  Also find out if a cash discount is available.  Where I work, we give a 20% discount for payment in full at time of service.

$5,000-$20,000 depending on what kind of surgery you need. you better get some insurance.

Depends where you get it done.  Around $15-20,000.\nYou can get insurance to cover it, but it's a pain.  The Obesity Help website is great for a resource on all kinds of weight-loss surgery including finding a surgeon and getting your insurance to pay.

I like towgrunt's answer. I had a colonoscopy and let me tell you the prep sucked and might've been easier with some alcohol. I'd say skip it. Do you really wanna risk messing it up and having to do it over or having a complication during the procedure because of it?  Have fun! I'll tell you a funny colonoscopy story: A friend had one and before she went in they gave her a drug that makes you awake for the procedure, but you have amnesia about it after. She asked the nurse if she said anything weird during the procedure and the nurse said she asked the Dr. what made him want to look in assholes all day?! LOL

i had 2 MRI's taken (both were for my back) the cost was $900 for the first one, and the 2nd one cost $1200. Shocking isnt it? My out of pocket was 20% as insurance picked up the rest. I now live in europe and my husband has had an MRI done, the cost to him was 0 as its socialized medicine. Somethings wrong with the american health system big time!!!!

It only ever costs me $10 USD to visit the Dr. and Another (Up To) $20 USD for a prescription.  So no more than a max of $30.

Ask your doctor to arrange for a sigmoidoscopy.

I am going to assume you don't have insurance.  When I went to see one,  it cost me about $200 cuz the doctor was out of my insurance network.  That was just a follow up to a procedure.  All together, with procedure, it cost me about $2000.  $1500 for procedure, $300 for in-patient, and about $200 for the follow-up.  Luckily the procedure and the in-patient were partially covered by insurance.  All in all, it's expencive.

the cost will likely vary from case to case, sometimes the clinic can give you an estimate of a general case, or a package, but your individual cost may change depending on the procedure, you could try the local phone directory for the clinic listings good luck

I am not sure of the exact cost. If you are concerned with the financial aspect of the testing, talk to your doctor about using a "sliding scale" to assess your fees... or talk to your local health department. Most health departments / public health providers will offer services at low / no cost to patients if this is an issue. Most all these services and sliding scale services are based on income, so have proof of your income handy when / if you call. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Completely depends on whether the patient has complications.   I had it done 3 years ago...absolutely no complications..total cost was about $30,000\n\nI paid about $1,500 out of pocket

depends how close you are to canada. you'd spend money going there and back and maybe have to spend the night. That all adds up. My blood work is about $220 (total) when I have it done, but it might be different for gastric. Explain to your doctor that you don't have insurance and they might be able to send you somewhere.
