Consumer Guidance & Cost Commentary
For a screening mammogram (both breasts) at Stanton County Hospital in Johnson, KS, the cash price is $184.00, which matches the facility's cash median. While the Medicare benchmark for this service is $126.25, the negotiated rates for in-network payers range from $30 to $336, with an average negotiated rate of $157.00. It is important to note that for patients with high-deductible plans, paying the cash price of $184.00 upfront can sometimes be more cost-effective than relying on insurance, as the negotiated rates often exceed the cash price. Additionally, patients should explicitly ask the hospital about "self-pay" or "prompt-pay" discounts, which can reduce the final bill by 20% to 50% if paid in full before or shortly after the service.
This specific procedure does not include comparative data against state or county averages in the provided information. However, the facility operates as a Critical Access Hospital with government-local ownership, and the billing data reflects a vintage of June 2026. When reviewing your own bills, always request a detailed, itemized statement rather than a summary bill, as over 80% of hospital charges contain errors such as double-billing or unbundled codes. If you receive a balance bill for out-of-network services at an in-network facility, you may be protected under the No Surprises Act, which prohibits providers from charging you the difference between their rate and your insurance's allowed amount for emergency or non-emergency care.
