Consumer Guidance & Cost Commentary
For the CPT code 76705, Ultrasound, abdomen (limited), the facility Ascension Via Christi Rehabilitation Hospital Inc in Wichita, KS, has a median negotiated rate of $100.00. This rate is lower than the Medicare benchmark of $106.81, which serves as the federal government's objective baseline for healthcare costs. While commercial payers like Aetna and UnitedHealthcare have negotiated rates ranging from $87 to $275, the facility's self-pay or cash price is not listed in this report. Patients with high-deductible plans may find that paying the cash price directly is more cost-effective than using insurance, as the insurance negotiated rate can sometimes exceed the cash price. It is always advisable to contact the hospital directly to inquire about "self-pay" or "prompt-pay" discounts, which can offer significant fee reductions for upfront payment.
This pricing data reflects the specific contract terms between the hospital and various insurance carriers, including Humana, Medicare, and Medicaid/KanCare. The facility operates as a Part A Provider - Hospital, and the rates shown are the contractual ceilings agreed upon by these payers. Because insurance companies negotiate different rates based on network tiering and administrative costs, the allowed amount for a patient can vary significantly depending on their specific plan. To ensure you are receiving the best possible price, verify your in-network allowed amount before scheduling the service and check your deductible status to avoid unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
