    If I’m reading this right, you’re saying there are cheaper insurance options, but the deductible would be so high it wouldn’t cover this $2400 anyway? It’s just more catastrophic things, like if this came back positive and now you needed surgery?

    And ya, even if you have $2400 and think the test is important to take because you have reason to believe you might have it, it doesn’t mean you’d be able to afford the aftercare.

      You are missing the primary part. Without insurance it costs several times more than it would with insurance.

        Not an uninsured colonoscopy, that is the uninsured price on average.

        Edit: i get youre saying it’d be cheaper if insured, but when talking about this specific thing that is the price.
