Questions
How much does level 2 excision/biopsy/incision and drainage cost in Kansas?
In 2024 Medicare data, level 2 excision/biopsy/incision and drainage (APC 5072) at 43 hospitals in Kansas was billed at $11,406 on average, while the average medicare-allowed amount was $1,394, of which Medicare paid $1,106. Your own cost depends on your insurance, deductible and the hospital.
Why are hospital charges so much higher than payments?
Charges are a hospital's list prices. Medicare pays fixed rates set in advance, and private insurers negotiate their own discounts, so almost nobody pays the full charge. For this service in Kansas, average charges were 8.2 times the average payment. Uninsured patients can ask the hospital about its financial assistance (charity care) policy and cash prices.
