13 Kansas hospitals list a gross charge for bone infection under the federal price-transparency rule, with quoted prices spanning $8,687 to $67,148. The cheapest is Community Memorial Healthcare in Marysville; the most expensive is Lindsborg Community Hospital in Lindsborg. The state average sits at $31,473.

What's listed is each hospital's gross charge — its published price for the inpatient stay, before any insurance discount. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists bone infection at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

If you're scheduling bone infection in Kansas, sort the list below by price, then click each hospital name to see its quality profile — CMS overall star rating, surgical-safety measures, readmission rates, patient-experience scores. The cheapest hospital isn't always the right call. Teaching hospitals often charge more because they take complex cases, and a higher-rated community hospital may deliver equivalent outcomes for a straightforward case at a lower price. Use the price column to narrow the field; use the quality data to make the final call.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Kansas hospitals missing from the list either don't perform bone infection in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 540 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
