Pricing Transparency

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require all hospitals to publish their charge description master. To offer our patients more information about costs and charges, we share our price transparency master files below. To receive a price estimate tailored to your care and insurance, we recommend the CRMC Price Transparency Tool link below.

The machine-readable master files below are posted in a format designed to allow researchers, regulators and application developers to more easily access and analyze large volumes of data. The file format may be difficult for the average consumer to download and read.

  • CRMC Price Transparency Tool Link:

These are comprehensive listings of individual procedures, services and items billable to a hospital patient or a patient’s health insurance provider. It is important to note the files do not reflect what a patient pays, but rather charges before specific variables, like insurance plans, are applied. These files will continue to be updated.

CMS requires all hospitals to share these documents in the format provided here. We want you to be empowered with as much information as possible when making healthcare choices and planning for care – but we want you to understand there are many variables related to your specific care and your insurance coverage that aren’t accounted for here. You may use these documents to become more informed. We also suggest our online Price Estimate Tool or call our Price Estimation Team at 620-252-2295 for our counselor to give you a more personalized estimate for your care, and for you to better understand your individual care costs. These resources consider information more specific to you.

When reviewing a price transparency file, remember:

  • While this document outlines standard base charges, and certain other information, these are not necessarily charges a patient will have to pay.
  • Every patient is unique and actual payment is highly dependent upon a combination of factors.
  • Even for similar procedures at the same facility, what a patient pays may differ based on their insurance plan and other factors.
  • Cost is only one factor consumers should review when making healthcare decisions. Outcomes, quality/safety data and experiences should also be considered.
