About Upper Endoscopy pricing

A Upper Endoscopy is billed as CPT 43235 and is usually a outpatient (same-day) service. Prices vary widely by metro and by hospital, which is why every figure here is tied to a specific hospital's own published file. 10 of these 28 metros have at least one hospital publishing a self-pay cash price.

The chargemaster (list) price is the hospital's undiscounted sticker rate. Almost no one actually pays it — insurers negotiate it down and self-pay patients are usually offered the cash price — but it shows how large the discount off list can be.
