Colonoscopy Cost by City in Tennessee

Colonoscopy Cost in Other States

What Affects Colonoscopy Cost in Tennessee

The cost of colonoscopy in Tennessee depends on several factors, including the type of facility, whether you have insurance, and local market dynamics.

The price of colonoscopy varies based on hospital size, ownership type (nonprofit vs. for-profit), and whether the facility belongs to a large health system. Consolidated systems often maintain higher prices due to reduced local competition.

Based on data from 54 hospitals in Tennessee, colonoscopy prices range from $462 to $4,501 — a 9.7x difference. This wide variation underscores why comparing prices before scheduling is critical for controlling your out-of-pocket costs.

Hospital vs. Outpatient Center Pricing in Tennessee

Hospital pricing for colonoscopy in Tennessee varies based on facility size, ownership type, and local market competition. Larger health systems and academic medical centers often have higher chargemaster prices, while community hospitals and outpatient clinics may offer more competitive rates.

When comparing options for colonoscopy, consider both price and quality metrics. MyCareCost includes compliance and quality data alongside pricing to help you make a more informed decision.

Self-Pay vs. Insurance Cost Differences in Tennessee

Self-pay patients in Tennessee often have access to significantly discounted rates for colonoscopy. Under federal price transparency rules (45 CFR § 180.50), hospitals must publish their discounted cash prices alongside standard charges.

In Tennessee, the average cash price for colonoscopy is $949, which is 58% lower than the average list price of $2,259. This discount is typical of what self-pay patients can expect when asking for the hospital's uninsured rate.

For insured patients, the negotiated rate between your plan and the hospital determines your cost share. If you haven't met your deductible, you may pay more than the cash price. It's worth asking the hospital whether their self-pay rate is lower than what your insurance would charge — some patients save money by not filing a claim.
