Cost Of An Endoscopic Exam?

I'm trying to decide whether to do the Enteron test / consultation - I was wondering how much those endoscopic exams cost so I can compare costs - I don't think I'm willing to do a gluten challenge (gluten-free 2 mo now). I know costs vary location to location - any ballpark $number will help.

No insurance, not working - I really have to watch costs - I think if I stay gluten-free free a couple more months I can try and look for work.

Many thanks.

I had an Endoscopy with biopsy last June and it cost $1,400.00. Enterolab would be A LOT cheaper! I wish you luck and hope you find answers soon!

God Bless :)

My endoscopic procedure was about $2500, which I'm assuming is inflated because they know I have insurance.

I was wondering where you guys live? $1400 and $2500! The copy of the bill I got from my insurance asking if I had any other insurance that could share the cost of the endoscopic test was $6500! This was 2 years ago and that stupid doctor didn't even take any biopsies, so I had to have another biopsy done, just last month, when I finally got another doctor to agree to it. I'm in California, and I was just wondering if the tests cost different in other states. Or maybe the place I had the test done is ripping off the insurance company...

I live in GA and the $1400.00 charge was billed to my insurance company, of course that is not what they pay though.

      Second child with Celia

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit.  We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel.  He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her!  Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By CJF · Posted

      I'm heading to the UK for a vacation the end of this month on a tour with Road Scholar. I haven't been out of the US since my diagnosis so I'm a little concerned about exposure to gluten during my travels. Most of our meals are provided by the tour. Either the hotels we are staying at, or places we will visit. Road Scholar is aware of my dietary needs as well. Any helpful hints about navigating the restaurants in England is greatly appreciated. Also are there any medications out there to help mitigate the effects of exposure to gluten? Thanks in advance.
