Colonoscopy Cost in Colorado: What Cash-Pay Patients Actually Pay (2025)
A screening colonoscopy in Colorado can cost anywhere from $227 at a lower-cost facility to over $3,500 at a hospital outpatient department. Knowing the cash price before you schedule can save thousands — and with over 40 hospitals now listed on Prevu Med, Colorado patients have more visibility than ever.
What does a colonoscopy cost in Colorado?
Cash pay colonoscopy prices by facility type in Colorado:
• Independent ambulatory surgery center (ASC): $500 – $1,800 • Hospital outpatient department: $1,500 – $3,500+
CommonSpirit hospitals (Penrose, St. Anthony, Longmont United) and UCHealth facilities tend to charge on the higher end. Independent ASCs in Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins offer significantly lower all-inclusive cash prices.
Getting a colonoscopy in Colorado without insurance
Colorado has a strong network of independent ASCs that offer transparent cash pricing for colonoscopies. When calling to schedule, ask for the 'all-inclusive' cash price that bundles the facility fee, gastroenterologist fee, and anesthesia — these should all be quoted together to avoid surprise bills.
What if polyps are found?
If polyps are removed during a 'screening' colonoscopy, it may be reclassified as 'diagnostic,' which can affect insurance coverage. For self-pay patients, this matters less — the cash price for a colonoscopy with polypectomy (CPT 45385) is typically $100–$500 more than a screening colonoscopy at the same facility.
