Consumer Guidance & Cost Commentary
For the CPT code 76700, representing a complete ultrasound of the abdomen, the facility's negotiated rates range from $98 to $275 depending on the insurance carrier. While the median negotiated amount across payers is $100, the Medicare benchmark for this service is $106.81, indicating that most commercial rates are slightly below the federal baseline. It is important to note that cash prices are not listed for this procedure, which can sometimes be a significant factor for patients with high-deductible plans; in such cases, paying cash upfront may result in lower out-of-pocket costs if the insurance negotiated rate exceeds the facility's actual cash price. Patients should verify their specific plan's allowed amount before scheduling to ensure they are aware of the exact cost they will be responsible for.
This facility is a Part A provider located in Wichita, Kansas, and participates with 11 different payers, including Medicare, Medicaid/KanCare, and major commercial insurers like UnitedHealthcare and Aetna. The data reflects a vintage of June 2026, showing that while some plans like Vc Hope and Va have a fixed negotiated rate of $98, others such as UnitedHealthcare have a wide range from $100 to $275. Because commercial rates often include administrative overhead and vary by network tier, patients should proactively ask the hospital about "self-pay" or "prompt-pay" discounts before check-in. These discounts can reduce the final bill by 20% to 50% if paid in full upfront, bypassing the standard insurance billing cycle and avoiding potential balance billing issues associated with out-of-network services.
