Here's what my Radiologist's office has to say about coverage...likely to vary by state. In Texas is mandatory thanks to one legislator who pushed for it.

Once you find out how it works in your state, call around to various radiology labs to find the cheapest. Our state and BC have a big push to shop price...they are putting common procedures on a website. Get out of high cost areas and go to the rad lab of a small town hospital and maybe cut the price dramatically. Or not. Duke! had the cheapest hospital colonoscopy in the Triangle, way cheaper than the private gastro I used ten years ago.

No CAC listed, but a colonoscopy ranges from $800 to over $5,000 within 25 miles of my home. Duke is the cheapest hospital at $1,000, while hospitals with lesser reputations are over $3,000. Huh?
