Consumer Guidance & Cost Commentary
For the CPT code 76700, "Ultrasound, abdomen (complete)," the Rehabilitation Hospital Of Overland Park lists a cash median price of $1,087. This cash rate is notably higher than the state of Kansas average, which is $106.81 (Medicare amount). While commercial insurance contracts often result in negotiated rates that exceed cash prices, patients with high-deductible plans may find paying the cash median of $1,087 directly to the hospital more cost-effective than facing a negotiated rate that could be significantly higher. To maximize savings, patients should verify their specific plan's deductible status and ask the facility about "self-pay" or "prompt-pay" discounts, which can reduce the final bill by 20% to 50% if paid in full upfront.
It is important to distinguish between the facility's gross charges and the actual amounts paid by insurers. The data shows that while the cash median is $1,087, the median negotiated rate across nine payers is $815, with individual payer rates ranging from $652 to $978. Because commercial insurance contracts often include administrative overhead and multi-layered pricing structures, the negotiated rate does not always represent the lowest possible cost. Patients should avoid accepting summary bills as final invoices and instead request a detailed, itemized statement to identify any unbundled codes or services not rendered. If a patient receives a balance bill for an out-of-network service at this in-network facility, they should not pay immediately out of fear of credit damage; instead, they should dispute the bill with their insurer and request a No Surprises Act audit to ensure compliance with federal protections.
