Consumer Guidance & Cost Commentary
For the CPT code 97140, representing physical therapy with manual therapy, the facility's cash median rate is $44.00, which aligns closely with the state of Kansas average. While commercial payers negotiate rates ranging from $22 to $66 depending on the insurance plan, the cash price remains a competitive benchmark for patients without insurance or those with high-deductible plans. It is important to note that for some commercial payers, the negotiated rate exceeds the cash price; in these cases, paying out-of-pocket may result in lower out-of-pocket costs. Patients should verify their specific plan's allowed amount before scheduling, as assuming that being in-network guarantees the lowest price can lead to higher charges than expected.
This facility, Ascension Via Christi Hospital Manhattan, Inc, is a voluntary non-profit acute care hospital located in Manhattan, KS, with a facility rating of 4. The Medicare benchmark for this service is $27.72, and the median negotiated rate across payers is $26.00. Since the cash price of $44.00 is higher than the Medicare rate, patients should consider requesting a prompt-pay discount if they choose to pay directly, as hospitals often offer reductions for upfront payment to bypass administrative processing costs. To ensure you are receiving the most accurate billing, always request an itemized bill that lists specific CPT codes rather than accepting a summary invoice, which may obscure individual charges or unbundled services.
