Colonoscopy Cost in Memphis, TN
A colonoscopy is a procedure in which a physician guides a long, flexible tube with a camera and light through the rectum and into the large intestine, producing live images of the intestinal lining on a monitor. Instruments can be passed through the tube to collect tissue samples. The facility fee, meaning the hospital's charge for the procedure room, equipment, and nursing and support staff, is the price covered in this data. Physician fees are billed separately. Prices on this page come from CMS-mandated hospital transparency files and are reported under HCPCS code 45378 (Screening Colonoscopy) and HCPCS code 45380 (Colonoscopy with Biopsy).

What These Prices Mean
The gross charge is the hospital's full list price, also called the chargemaster rate. The cash price is the amount a self-pay patient is quoted. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates between the hospital and insurers. For code 45378, the four Methodist hospitals list a gross charge of $4,311, a cash price of $948.42 (22% of gross), and an insured range of $250 to $3,463. Regional One Health lists a gross charge of $2,662.21 and a cash price of $1,458.89 (55% of gross), with insured rates of $250 to $1,879. Regional One's discount percentage is smaller, yet its cash price is higher, because the Methodist discount applies to a larger starting figure. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not met their deductible owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge.
Code variations
Code 45378 describes a diagnostic colonoscopy without tissue collection. Code 45380 adds a biopsy, meaning one or more tissue samples are taken during the procedure. At the Methodist hospitals, both codes carry identical prices. At Regional One Health, the biopsy code costs $60.17 more in cash ($1,519.06 versus $1,458.89). At Le Bonheur Children's, the difference is $748.50 ($2,949.60 versus $2,201.10).
Why Colonoscopy Prices Vary
Gross charges for code 45378 range from $2,662.21 at Regional One Health to $10,005 at Le Bonheur Children's, a gap of $7,342.79. Cash prices span a much narrower range, from $948.42 to $2,201.10, a gap of $1,252.68 for the same code. The gap narrows because hospitals apply different discount percentages. The Methodist hospitals and Le Bonheur Children's apply a 22% cash-to-gross ratio, while Regional One Health applies 55%. A smaller discount on a lower gross charge produced a cash price between the other two. Across both codes, cash prices run from $948.42 to $2,949.60.
Facility type and alternatives
The hospitals in this dataset include general acute care hospitals, a safety-net academic medical center, and a children's hospital. Each has its own cost structure, payer mix, and contracts, which influence chargemaster rates and negotiated discounts. Outpatient surgery centers and other freestanding facilities are not included in this dataset and may price the same service differently.
Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Colonoscopy cost.
Published cash prices on this page range from $948.42 to $2,949.60. The lowest insured rate in the price table is $250 (Le Bonheur Children's Hospital). Insured rates depend on the plan, and the lowest are often Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage plans, so they may not reflect what a commercial or marketplace plan pays. If you are uninsured, a marketplace health plan could reduce your out-of-pocket cost for this procedure.

What to Do With These Colonoscopy Prices
Give the front desk two codes. Ask any hospital on this page for its cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate for 45378 (screening colonoscopy) and 45380 (colonoscopy with biopsy). A biopsy is decided only during the procedure, so a quote for both codes shows the range you could be billed.
Set the quote beside the published numbers. Cash prices are listed for all 12 hospital and code rows here. Three of the Methodist hospitals shown, Methodist North Hospital, Methodist South Hospital and Methodist University Hospital, each list a cash price of $948.42 for both codes, against insured rates of $250 to $3,463. Regional One Health lists $1,458.89 cash for 45378. If your quote is far from the figures here, ask which charges it includes.
Sort the bills by who sends them. The prices on this page are facility charges only. Expect separate bills that may include:
- The gastroenterologist who performs the exam
- The anesthesia provider
- The pathology lab, if tissue is sent for testing
Ask whether each of these is included in a quote, and check each bill against the facility estimate. Also ask your insurer how a biopsy changes your share.
Missing figures. Every row on this page has a published cash price and gross charge, so no $0 or blank entries need reading as free.
Financial assistance and discounts. Nonprofit hospitals are required to publish a financial assistance policy, and the billing office can send it with an application. Some hospitals also offer prompt-pay or self-pay discounts; these vary by hospital and are not included in this data. If you are uninsured or not using insurance for scheduled care, you can ask the provider for a good faith estimate before the appointment.

What Patients Ask About Colonoscopy Costs
How much does a colonoscopy cost without insurance in Memphis?
Without insurance, cash prices in Memphis range from $948.42 to $2,949.60 across the hospitals in this data. The four Methodist hospitals (Germantown, North, South, and University) each list $948.42 for both code 45378 and code 45380. Regional One Health lists $1,458.89 for 45378 and $1,519.06 for 45380. Le Bonheur Children's lists $2,201.10 for 45378 and $2,949.60 for 45380. These are facility fees only. Physician and professional fees are billed separately and are not included in these figures.
Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?
The gross charge, also called the chargemaster price, is a hospital's standard list price before any discounts or negotiated rates. Almost no one pays it. At the Methodist hospitals, the cash price of $948.42 is 22% of the $4,311 gross charge. At Regional One Health, the $1,458.89 cash price is 55% of the $2,662.21 gross charge. Although Regional One applies a smaller discount, its cash price is higher than the Methodist price because the Methodist discount is applied to a much larger starting figure. Le Bonheur Children's also applies a 22% ratio to a $10,005 gross charge.
Does insurance cover a colonoscopy?
Coverage depends on the specific plan and on medical necessity as determined by the insurer. Negotiated rates vary widely: for code 45378, payer rates in this data run from $250 to $8,293, depending on the insurer and plan type. Prior authorization may be required for non-emergency procedures, and requirements differ by plan. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not met their deductible owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge, until the deductible is satisfied. Plan documents or the insurer can confirm coverage, cost-sharing, and authorization rules.
Are there additional fees beyond the colonoscopy facility charge?
Yes. The prices in this data are facility fees, which cover the room, equipment, and hospital staff. Several other charges are billed separately: the physician performing the procedure bills a professional fee, and an anesthesiologist bills separately if anesthesia or sedation is provided. When tissue samples are collected, a pathologist's laboratory analysis is also billed separately from the facility fee. Procedures performed through an emergency department incur separate ER facility fees. These additional charges are not included in the figures on this page, and no dollar amounts for them appear in the source data.
What is the cash price for a colonoscopy at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis?
Methodist University Hospital lists a cash price of $948.42 for both 45378 Screening Colonoscopy and 45380 Colonoscopy with Biopsy. That compares with a gross charge of $4,311 for each code. These are facility charges only, so professional fees are not included in these figures.
What are the lowest and highest colonoscopy cash prices in Memphis?
Across the 6 Memphis hospitals on this page, cash prices run from $948.42 at Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital (45378) to $2,949.60 at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital (45380).

Regional One Health lists a cash price of $1,458.89 for 45378 Screening Colonoscopy and $1,519.06 for 45380 Colonoscopy with Biopsy. Those are 55% of the gross charges of $2,662.21 and $2,772.01. Figures cover the facility charge only and do not include separate professional billing.
What does United Healthcare pay for a screening colonoscopy at Methodist University Hospital?
The page shows a United Healthcare rate of $2,383 for 45378 Screening Colonoscopy at Methodist University Hospital, under the HB UHC All Payer Appendix contract. It is a facility charge only. The page lists 202 published rates for this code at the hospital, so other plans differ.
