Colonoscopy Cost in Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL

A colonoscopy is a procedure in which a clinician guides a long, flexible tube with a camera and light, called a colonoscope, through the rectum and into the large intestine. The camera sends live images to a monitor, and small instruments passed through the scope can collect tissue samples. The facility fee covers the hospital's procedure room, equipment, nursing staff, and recovery area. Prices on this page come from hospital transparency files that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require hospitals to publish. Two billing codes appear: HCPCS 45378 (screening colonoscopy) and HCPCS 45380 (colonoscopy with biopsy).

What These Prices Mean

Understanding the price columns The gross charge is the hospital's full list price, also called the chargemaster rate. The cash price is what a patient without insurance is quoted. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates with insurers. At Tampa General, code 45378 has a gross charge of $3,266 and a cash price of $1,143.10, or 35% of gross. At AdventHealth Carrollwood, code 45380 lists a gross charge of $12,166.92 and a cash price of the same amount, so no discount applies. Tampa General's larger percentage discount still leaves it far below that 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 or screening colonoscopy. Code 45380 adds one or more biopsies, meaning tissue samples collected during the procedure. At Tampa General, the cash price is $1,143.10 for 45378 and $1,193.85 for 45380, a difference of $50.75. The insured ranges also differ: $971.14 to $2,923 for 45378 and $1,249.63 to $2,923 for 45380.

Why Colonoscopy Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures Gross charges in this dataset span a wide gap. Tampa General lists $3,266 and $3,411 for the two codes, while five AdventHealth hospitals list $12,166.92 for code 45380, a difference of roughly $8,700 to $8,900. The cash price gap is smaller in proportion but still large: $1,143.10 at the low end and $12,166.92 at the high end. The gap comes from discount policy. Tampa General's cash prices equal 35% of gross, while the AdventHealth hospitals with posted cash prices for 45380 apply 100%, meaning cash and gross are identical. Most HCA Florida hospitals and several AdventHealth locations list $0 for gross and cash prices on these codes. That appears to be incomplete data, not a true price of zero. Facility type and alternatives Tampa General is an academic medical center, while the others are community hospitals within large health systems. Outpatient or freestanding facilities, which are not in this dataset, may charge differently for the same codes. Among reported cash prices, the range runs from $1,143.10 to $12,166.92.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Colonoscopy cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $1,143.10 to $12,166.92 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $506 (AdventHealth North Pinellas). 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

Ask the front desk for a two-code quote. Quote 45378 (screening) and 45380 (with biopsy), because whether a biopsy is taken can be decided only during the procedure. Ask the hospital for its cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate under each code. Ask your insurer separately how a biopsy changes your share.

Put any quote beside the numbers on this page. Only 7 of 39 price rows show a published cash price. At Tampa General Hospital, cash for 45380 is $1,193.85, below the lowest insured rate there of $1,249.63. At AdventHealth Tampa, cash for 45380 is $12,166.92, above every insured rate listed for that hospital. So a cash quote can land on either side of the insured range, and it is worth checking where yours falls.

Sort the bills when they arrive. The prices here are facility charges only. Expect possible separate bills for:

The doctor who performs the procedure (professional fee)
The anesthesia provider
The lab that examines tissue, if a biopsy is sent for testing

Check that the facility bill uses the code you were quoted, and ask whether each of those other providers is in your insurance network.

Treat blanks as missing, not free. On this page, 32 of 39 rows have a gross charge published as $0 or blank, and 14 hospitals publish no cash price for either code. A blank means the hospital did not report a figure. It does not mean the service costs nothing, so call and ask.

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 Tampa-St. Petersburg?

Cash prices are available for only some hospitals. Tampa General lists $1,143.10 for screening colonoscopy (45378) and $1,193.85 for colonoscopy with biopsy (45380). Five AdventHealth hospitals (Carrollwood, Riverview, Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and Zephyrhills) list $12,166.92 for code 45380. Most other hospitals report $0 for cash price, which appears to be incomplete data, so their insured rates are the better context: for example, HCA Florida hospitals show insured ranges reaching $7,480, and AdventHealth hospitals show ranges from $506 to $2,832.53. The overall reported cash range is $1,143.10 to $12,166.92. These amounts are facility fees. Physician and professional fees are billed separately.

Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?

The gross charge, or chargemaster price, is a hospital's full list price before any discount or insurance adjustment. Almost no one pays it. At Tampa General, cash prices equal 35% of gross: $1,143.10 against $3,266 for code 45378, and $1,193.85 against $3,411 for code 45380. At AdventHealth Carrollwood, Riverview, Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and Zephyrhills, cash equals 100% of gross for code 45380, at $12,166.92. Tampa General's larger percentage discount still produces a lower cash price, because its starting gross charge is far lower than the $12,166.92 AdventHealth figure.

Does insurance cover a colonoscopy?

Coverage depends on your plan and on medical necessity, which the insurer determines. Negotiated rates vary widely. For screening colonoscopy, payer rates in this dataset run from $506 to $13,164 across 1,313 rates. Some non-emergency procedures require prior authorization from the insurer before scheduling. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you owe the negotiated rate for the service, not the gross charge, until the deductible is satisfied. Your plan documents or insurer can confirm which codes are covered and what cost-sharing applies.

Are there additional fees beyond the colonoscopy facility charge?

Yes. The facility fee covers the hospital's room, equipment, and staff. Other services are billed separately. The physician who performs the colonoscopy bills a professional fee. An anesthesiologist or other anesthesia provider, when sedation is used, also bills separately. If a biopsy is taken, a pathologist's analysis of the tissue sample is typically billed as a distinct charge, and laboratory processing may add its own fee. A procedure performed through the emergency department also incurs a separate ER facility fee. None of these amounts appear in the hospital price data used here, so no dollar figures are given.

What is the cash price for a colonoscopy at Tampa General Hospital?

Tampa General Hospital lists a cash price of $1,143.10 for Screening Colonoscopy (45378) and $1,193.85 for Colonoscopy with Biopsy (45380). Both are facility charges only and are 35% of the listed gross charge. Gross charges are $3,266 and $3,411 respectively. Professional fees are not included in these figures.

Why do AdventHealth Tampa and AdventHealth Carrollwood list a colonoscopy cash price of $12,166.92?

For Colonoscopy with Biopsy (45380), AdventHealth Tampa and AdventHealth Carrollwood publish a cash price of $12,166.92, equal to the gross charge, so no self-pay discount is listed. This is a facility charge only. Insured rates at both hospitals are listed from $537 to $2,774.17. The Screening Colonoscopy (45378) gross and cash fields are blank, which means missing, not free.

How much does HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital charge for a screening colonoscopy with insurance?

HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital lists insured rates for Screening Colonoscopy (45378) from $1,638 to $7,480 in the main price table. It publishes no gross charge or cash price for this code, and blank fields mean missing data, not free. The payer table shows 102 published rates for this code, facility charge only. Cigna HMO and PPO are listed at $7,480.
