Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, Simple GA007

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a procedure used to examine the upper digestive tract, including the esophagus (the muscular tube connecting the mouth to the stomach), the stomach, and the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). EGD is performed using an endoscope, a long, flexible instrument with a light and camera on the end. The endoscope is inserted through the mouth and passed along the digestive tract, allowing the doctor to view the tissues directly.


EGD is typically performed in an outpatient surgery clinic. Patients receive sedative medications and are not fully awake during the procedure; they also generally do not remember it afterward. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used.


EGD can be used for diagnostic purposes, such as identifying conditions affecting the digestive tract, or for treatment. Specialized surgical instruments can be passed through the endoscope, enabling procedures to be performed inside the digestive tract without requiring abdominal incisions.


Various procedures can be performed during EGD. For example, a foreign body (an object that was swallowed) can be removed. Tumors or polyps can also be excised, often using a snare, an electrified wire tightened around the base of the tissue to remove it. A biopsy may be taken by removing a small tissue sample for laboratory analysis to determine if it is cancerous or indicative of another disease. Submucosal injections, which involve injecting fluid beneath the lining of the digestive tract, can also be performed to separate an area and facilitate tissue removal.


In some cases, an ultrasound is performed during EGD, known as a transendoscopic ultrasound (TUS). This procedure can assess how deeply cancer or another disease has penetrated tissue and evaluate nearby structures, such as the pancreas. TUS can also guide biopsies or fine-needle aspirations (FNA), a technique that uses a needle and syringe to collect cells for laboratory analysis.


Strictures, or narrowed areas of the digestive tract caused by scar tissue, can interfere with food passage. Dilation (also called dilatation) is a procedure used to widen these areas. This can be accomplished with a balloon inflated inside the narrowed area or guide-wire dilation, where a wire guides a tapered tube to gradually expand the passage.


A gastrostomy tube, or feeding tube, can also be placed during EGD. This tube passes through the skin into the stomach, allowing food to be delivered directly to the stomach, bypassing chewing and swallowing. Varices—swollen veins that may cause bleeding—can also be treated during EGD through ligation, which involves clamping off the swollen veins to stop the bleeding.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make the most of the information provided?
Use this information to compare healthcare providers and estimate the price you'll pay (see 'What does the estimated price include?' for more information). We recommend verifying this information directly with your provider.
Do my search results include an exhaustive list of providers that offer the service I'm looking for?
No. Our beta search experience currently includes providers for whom we are able to find prices and verify their accuracy (see 'How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?' below for more information). This means there may be other providers available in your area. We are introducing additional providers on a rolling basis. If you don't see a specific provider listed, check back soon.
Why isn't my insurance plan listed?
We are introducing additional national and regional insurance plans on a rolling basis. If you don't see your insurance plan listed, check back soon.
What if I can't find the service I'm looking for?
Our beta search experience includes a limited set of services, which we are growing all the time. If you can't find what you're looking for,
What does the estimated price include?
Estimated prices include facility fees (charges that cover the overhead costs of running a hospital) and professional fees (charges that cover the costs of services provided by medical professionals like doctors, nurses, or lab technicians).
How does Turquoise determine price accuracy?

Turquoise obtains prices from multiple sources, including provider and insurance published data, as well as historical medical claims.

If you're using insurance...

A price is considered fully verified if it is made available by both the provider and the insurance company, and those prices have low variability. A price is considered partially verified if it is made available by one or the other and can be corroborated by historical medical claims data. Turquoise does not currently publish any rates that don't meet these verification criteria.

If you're not using insurance...

Cash-pay prices can only be retrieved from provider-published data.

I'm using insurance. How do I estimate my out-of-pocket cost vs. what I can expect insurance to cover?
To estimate your out-of-pocket cost, use the calculator tool on the cost breakdown page. We recommend first logging into your insurance portal or contacting them directly to retrieve your up-to-date deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and service-specific co-pay or co-insurance information.
I enrolled in a government-sponsored healthcare program. Can I use Turquoise to find prices for care?
You should not use Turquoise Health to compare prices if you are enrolled in a Medicare or Medicaid plan. Contact Medicare or your state's Medicaid program directly for more information.
