Re: IRA for H1B holders ? Almost everyone pays income tax plus a 10% penalty if they cash in their tax-sheltered 401Ks, etc., before age 59 1/2. So if you cash in and leave the country, you would have this problem for sure, and possibly other costs.
Typical costs: For those not covered by health insurance, the cost of colonoscopy varies by provider and geographic region, usually ranging from $2,010 to $3,764, with an average of $3,081, according to Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina.
Anesthesia: You might think that anesthesia would be included with the price of a colonoscopy. After all, it's not surprising that many patients would want to be anesthetized. But for quite awhile, patients were being billed for anesthesia, which by itself can run $1,000 or more.
