The procedure room and the facility. Anesthesia, the gastroenterologist and any pathology are usually billed separately.
Before you book
- Call the hospital’s scheduling or price-estimate line and quote the code: CPT G0121, and ask how it is billed if a polyp is found, since a screening can turn into a diagnostic procedure.
- If you pay cash, ask for the self-pay price in writing (a Good Faith Estimate). Uninsured and self-pay patients have a right to one under the No Surprises Act.
- If you use insurance, check the hospital is in network for your exact plan; your share depends on your deductible and coinsurance. Cash or insurance?
