your form does not fit my case: based solely on age, my PA recommended a colonoscopy. I called all hospitals within 200 miles for estimates, although Medicare would pay all. Most could not/would not give an estimates. One billing department truthfully told me that they would only bill Medicare for the most expensive coding, regardless of what the doctor did or found. I refused to do any colonoscopy with these crooks. I waited until Medicare accepted Exact Sciences do-it-yourself kit, then I had it done. Meanwhile, I had been dropped from my health provider clinic, GHC, because I refused to pay a vaccination bill. I had a one month job in Brazil, my PC recommended a yellow fever shot, as I had not had one in 20 years. The CDC also recommended this vaccination for anyone going to that area of Brasil. Medicare refused to pay, my Medicare Supplement by WPS, refused to pay, the provider billed me the total, non-Medicare discount, price. I refused to pay, they tried to use a collection agency, I refused, I was asked to NEVER use that HMO provider again. Then there is my recent cataract surgery trauma, resulting in my choice of a wonderful, transparent provider hospital 75 miles away, while there are four hospitals and a large medical school here in Madison, Wisconsin

Under Allowable Amount the insurer entered the value of $308.80 which apparently was the total paid to this doctor. Besides the doctor cost there were additional expenses like pre-procedure doctor visit (total $150, insurance disallowed $74.39, insurance paid $45.97, patient (me) paid $29.84), anesthesia (total charged $1,262.50, insurance disallowed $903.51, insurance paid $203.39, patient paid $155.60) PS: Your site does not recognize my doctor's name (Daniel L Cohen). I entered it and for several iterations it would not send the info. So, I used a RANDOM name from your list just to be able to complete this entry. The doctor who was 100% responsible for this procedure was Dr. COHEN.

With no insurance, I shopped around to find an affordable colonoscopy. No doctor or hospital could give me a definite cost because of the different charges involved. Anesthesiologist, Doctor, Facility, Drugs, etc. My estimates ranged from $4,000 to $8,000. I found this website and was given a flat rate fee all-inclusive, except for the prep medication, which they also offered a coupon which saved me 50%. The total cost was $1125 and the staff was excellent and the procedure went without a hitch.

I understand that medicine is expensive, I'm in the medical field but this is really expensive. Thankfully I have insurance which covered almost all of it but how about those that do not have insurance. I remember when I didn't have insurance and you are always afraid if something were to happened. Although I have insurance copayments are still outrageously expensive.

This colonoscopy was for screening purposes only, the patient was not experiencing symptoms. The patient's primary care physician recommended the procedure due to the age of the patient (61) and the fact that the patient had never previously had a colonoscopy. The preparation fluid at Costco Pharmacy was $25.09. We were told that pathology services for testing any specimens taken would be charged separately, but no specimens were taken, so there were no separate pathology charges, and no abnormalities were found.

Was told routine screening colonoscopy was covered in full prior to procedure. Both hospital (I called them) and my insurance (read covered screenings) stated procedure covered in full. After procedure insurance denied entire bill because polyps were found. Said that made a routine screening into a diagnostic procedure... And that diagnostic procedure was not covered at all. It was horrible. There was also an anesthesiology bill, for a deductible, that I had to fight for same reasoning. Ployps found - no coverage.. I was forced to spend hours researching the issue and many more hours on endless phone calls to get these bills paid. ( Which is saying if any routine test finds something wrong the insurance gets to deny coverage?) May not have been a huge amount of money but the bills were unexpected and I was getting collection calls.....

I went for a routine colonoscopy that was supposed to be covered by my insurance as preventative. The doctor said he found "something very tiny" but not a polyp and wanted to have it checked. The insurance company decided that it was no longer a preventative test and refused to pay for it. The doctor's bill was $199.56, the anesthesiologist was 335.48, and the hospital was $2407.42.

I did an initial colonoscopy in October 2016 at the age of 51. They found 3 polyps, removed them and asked that I return 3 years later. I missed the appointment in October 2019, and I couldn’t arranged for a convenient time during Covid and was comfortable to do the procedure in December. While checking in they shared my out of pocket expense. I questioned the bill and they explained that the first one is preventative and the second is up keep for lack of a better word. Considering the difficulty to prep for the procedure I decided to follow through. . I have no idea how I’m going to pay for that one.

I was very diligent in researching my network. I had an emergency room visit earlier in the year and had capped out my out of pocket so all procedures after should be covered at 100 percent. The thing that shocked me is I could not get a straight answer on the anesthesiologists. Some facilities contract with companies and some don’t meaning it could be an individual. I was told I could receive up to 4 bills. Facility - insurance paid - in network. Doctor - insurance paid - in network. Doctor “company” - insurance paid - in network. The big surprise is the bill I got from the anesthesiologists. Two in fact. One was the lead and one administered the drugs. Why I needed two. They said one was the doctor in case anything went wrong. In a couple of weeks I got two bills. One from each of the anesthesiologists. Each in the amount of 2,200.00. Shocking because I was there for an hour and everything else was covered. In these procedures the patient does not get to choose the anesthesiologists I was told. Out of network I think is a loop hole for them in this type of situation. My insurance did follow up with me and only paid their piece of the out of network. They stated I may get a bill directly from the anesthesiologists and if and when I did to contact them to have their company negotiate a settlement. As hard as you try to keep thing transparent they are not. This is an example of a gotcha....

I have medical billing experience and even I can't understand or be certain of some of the things I am billed for. I know that I had a colonoscopy where 2 benign polyps were removed but I have no idea what the actual CPT code is that was submitted. While I know that a procedure may have many different CPT codes, can't the insurance company give at least a broad breakdown of these costs so that I can at least attempt to understand if I am being charged for the correct service? Additionally, I know that this charge does not include the charge for the pathology analysis of the polyps that were removed and I'm not entirely sure that the Anesthesiologist charge is included.

I had not yet met my deductible; the insurer would have paid more if I had. The insurer's contracted rate for the whole thing was $4,055.29. This was for a diagnostic colonoscopy, with polyp removal, under anesthesia, and includes the biopsy charges. Not included is the required pre-procedure office visit, which happened a couple of weeks earlier
