Were you even offered a colonoscopy without sedation? In the US, many providers often require sedation for colonoscopies, regardless of your age or lack of comorbidities--which, ironically, makes me less inclined to get one. Meanwhile, in other countries, the SOP is to only provide sedation is it's absolutely needed.

I had United Healthcare PPO and I got hit with a $3000 bill for the colonoscopy because of the conveniently out of network anesthesiologist anyway.

It was never presented to me as an option
