Price Transparency
We at Kansas Spine & Specialty Hospital strive to be as transparent as possible with our cost of services. Below we have provided several resources to help patients understand and conveniently compare costs.
Please note that the prices shown on this website do not represent what the patient would expect to pay, whether insured, uninsured or self-pay. As an insured patient, your actual cost/responsibility will be determined by the allowed amount granted by your insurance provider, as contracted between your insurance provider and our hospital.
We are available to offer assistance to you during our business hours, which are Monday-Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, by calling 316-462-5363.

Standard Charges
In accordance with the Hospital Price Transparency Rules from the Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS), we have published our standard charges in two required formats. The list of 300 shoppable services is consumer-friendly so patients can compare prices across hospitals. The comprehensive machine-readable file is intended to be used by machines for data analysis and not by the consumer.
A few things to keep in mind as you view our standard charges:
- These charges are rarely the price that patients pay. The standard charges list the dollar amount set for each service, supply, pharmaceutical or implants prior to the insurance contract/benefit plan discounts or self-pay discounts being applied, so the price patients pay is less than the standard charge.
- Hospital charges differ from patient to patient for the same service depending upon variations in each individual’s treatment plan.
- Items included in a charge vary across hospitals and health systems. For example, what’s included in one hospital’s charge for room and board may differ from another hospital’s charge. Some hospitals bundle services together into a single charge; some may list those charges separately.
- Looking at various hospital charges does not provide any indication of quality of service or patient outcomes
