What this number is
The figures on this page are 2026 Medicare physician allowed amounts for a specific CPT code: the professional fee, adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices. They are not a hospital chargemaster price, not your insurer's contracted rate, and not a quote. Hospital facility fees, anesthesia, implants, imaging reads, and pathology are billed separately when they apply. These Kansas averages are unweighted means of the state’s localities, not population-weighted.
How Medicare prices Kansas
A single locality covers all of Kansas, with geographic indices in the lower national tier, so the published Medicare rates apply evenly from the Kansas City suburbs to the far western High Plains. Notably, the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro prices under the statewide Kansas locality while the Missouri side has its own metro locality, meaning the two halves of one city carry different approved amounts. Beyond that quirk, Kansas pricing is straightforwardly uniform. Wichita, Topeka, and rural Kansas all share the same adjustments.
The Kansas City metro and Wichita hold most of the state's specialists, with the academic medical center on the Kansas side of the metro serving as the top referral point. Western Kansas is genuinely frontier in places, with long distances to any hospital that performs advanced procedures, and some High Plains residents cross into Colorado or Nebraska for care. Critical access hospitals carry much of the rural load.

Medical costs in Kansas: questions
How do Medicare physician rates in Kansas compare nationally?
Across the 59 featured procedures on this page, Kansas sits below the national average by about 8%. Examples: incision & drainage of abscess $118, skin biopsy (tangential) $88, skin biopsy (punch) $111. Search any other CPT in the box above — those codes are in the tool, not as extra Kansas articles.
How many Medicare localities does Kansas have?
Kansas is one Medicare locality, so the physician fee schedule is statewide. Site of service (office vs hospital) and hospital facility fees still change what a patient is billed.
What do these Kansas prices include?
Medicare physician allowed amounts only — the professional fee after GPCI. They do not include hospital facility charges, anesthesia, or your plan’s contracted rate. Medicare patients typically owe 20% of the allowed amount after the Part B deductible, before Medigap.
Can I look up a CPT that is not in the table?
Yes. The table is the featured set (59 procedures). The search box looks up 7,500+ payable codes from the 2026 fee schedule and applies Kansas’s locality when you enter a ZIP.
