What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery center rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again. 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.

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.
The table shows Medicare physician allowed amounts in an office: the professional fee after GPCI, which for imaging and other tests done outside a hospital is the full global rate. It does not include hospital facility charges, anesthesia, or your plan’s contracted rate; each procedure page adds the full hospital or surgery center total where CMS pays one. Medicare patients typically owe 20% of the allowed amount after the Part B deductible, before Medigap.
