Colonoscopy fees 2026: package prices at 11 private hospitals, actual bills and public fees

How much are colonoscopy packages at each hospital?

The table lists the diagnostic colonoscopy fixed-price packages published by the 11 Hong Kong private hospitals this site checked (generally with intravenous sedation and without polypectomy), not all institutions in Hong Kong. What the packages include differs, so when comparing, look at whether the doctor's fee is included and what restrictions apply.

Compiled by this site: package prices in the table range from HK$10,070 to HK$19,880; most packages apply only to designated doctors, designated room classes or referral routes.

How this list was put together: an institution is listed when it publishes this fee on its own website and this site has checked the figures against that fee schedule. The rows are in a fixed order, not in order of price; this site does not recommend any institution, the order says nothing about quality, and the list is not every institution in Hong Kong.
