Consumer Guidance & Cost Commentary
For the X-ray, hip procedure (CPT 73502) at the Rehabilitation Hospital Of Overland Park, the cash price is $449.00, which matches the facility's median paid amount. This cash rate is significantly higher than the state of Kansas average, which is 3.8 times the Medicare benchmark of $88.91. While commercial insurance plans like Blue Cross Blue Shield and Prime Health Services negotiate rates ranging from $270 to $404, these negotiated amounts often exceed the cash price. Patients with high-deductible plans or those without insurance may find it more cost-effective to pay the $449.00 cash rate directly, as this bypasses administrative fees and avoids potential balance billing if the insurance allowed amount is lower than the negotiated rate.
To ensure you receive the most accurate pricing, it is essential to verify your specific plan's negotiated rate and ask the hospital about "self-pay" or "prompt-pay" discounts before scheduling your visit. Although the data shows a median negotiated rate of $337.00 across nine payers, individual contracts vary, and assuming an in-network rate is the lowest possible price can lead to unexpected costs. If you receive a bill, always request a full itemized CPT-coded statement rather than accepting a summary bill, as over 80% of hospital bills contain errors such as unbundled codes or services not rendered. By disputing these errors in writing and confirming whether the facility offers a prompt-pay discount for upfront payment, you can avoid unnecessary debt and ensure you are paying a fair price for your care.
