Consumer Guidance & Cost Commentary
For the X-ray of the hand (CPT 73130) at Kingman Healthcare Center in Kingman, KS, the facility's negotiated rate of $29.00 aligns exactly with the lowest and highest rates reported by the three in-network payers, including Medicaid/KanCare, Healthy Blue, and Aetna. This price is significantly lower than the Medicare benchmark of $88.91, reflecting a markup of only 33% of the federal baseline, which is well below the typical commercial range of 200% to 300%. While the facility is a Critical Access Hospital and a voluntary non-profit, the data does not provide a specific cash-pay or self-pay rate; however, patients with high-deductible plans should verify if paying cash directly could result in a lower total cost than their insurance negotiated rate, as administrative fees often inflate commercial prices.
To ensure you receive the most accurate pricing, it is essential to request a prompt-pay discount or self-pay rate before scheduling your visit, as these upfront incentives can bypass the higher administrative costs associated with insurance billing. Although the No Surprises Act protects patients from balance billing for out-of-network services at in-network facilities, you should still review your itemized bill to confirm that all services were rendered and that no unbundled charges exist. Given that the negotiated rate here is already at the floor of the payer range, the primary focus should be confirming your deductible status and asking the billing department to apply any available cash discounts prior to check-in.
