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.

Total Hip Replacement and how Kansas is priced
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.
This procedure: Total hip replacement removes a worn or damaged hip joint, usually destroyed by arthritis, and replaces it with a metal, ceramic, and plastic implant. It is one of the most successful operations in medicine for relieving pain and restoring walking. The surgery takes one to two hours under general or spinal anesthesia; many patients now go home the same day or after one night, then spend several weeks in physical therapy.
What Is Total Hip Replacement?
Total hip replacement removes a worn or damaged hip joint, usually destroyed by arthritis, and replaces it with a metal, ceramic, and plastic implant. It is one of the most successful operations in medicine for relieving pain and restoring walking. The surgery takes one to two hours under general or spinal anesthesia; many patients now go home the same day or after one night, then spend several weeks in physical therapy.
What Affects the Cost
- The implant itself is a major cost component, and prices vary widely between manufacturers and hospitals.
- Same-day discharge at an ambulatory surgery center can cost dramatically less than an inpatient hospital stay.
- Post-operative physical therapy, whether at home, outpatient, or in a rehab facility, is a significant separate expense over weeks.
- The anesthesia team bills by time, and spinal versus general anesthesia can affect both cost and recovery.
- Pre-surgical clearance testing, such as labs, an ECG, and imaging, generates its own set of charges.
- Robotic-assisted or computer-navigated surgery may carry additional facility charges at some hospitals.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Am I a candidate for same-day or outpatient surgery, and how much would that reduce the facility charge?
- 2.What implant brand do you use, and does my choice affect what I pay?
- 3.Has prior authorization been approved, including documentation of the conservative care I already tried?
- 4.What will physical therapy cost after surgery, and how many visits does my plan cover?
- 5.Does my insurer have a designated joint replacement center with lower out-of-pocket costs?
