How much is colonoscopy?
Screening colonoscopy itself does not cost a lot. In all (conscious sedation, colonoscopy itself and facility cargoes) should be a few hundred dollars and most of it should be covered under insurance. In Philippines, it should be a lot cheaper. There is nothing to be scared about. Bowel cleaning regimen is most discomforting part. You should feel any pain or discomfort either during or after procedures. There are possible complications with any thing like this but these are very uncommon. It should be fine to get it performed in Phillip pines but make sure that the gastroenterologist who does the procedure is trained for this and does it on a frequent basis. Average should be at least several during a week. Remember that it they need to remove the polyps, the removal process and pathology on these will substantially increase the total cost. If you have been advised, get it done without getting scared.
