Estimate costs in advance

We offer a self-service price estimate tool to help you understand costs before you plan or receive healthcare services. For a variety of common tests and procedures – with more to come – you can perform an online estimate to learn the amounts your insurance will cover and the out-of-pocket costs you’ll be responsible for.

If you’re a health system patient with a MyChart account, you can use our self-service, online price estimate tool in MyChart. Log in to MyChart. Go to Billing and choose Estimates.

If you are new to the health system or don’t have a MyChart account, you can explore the estimate tool as a MyChart guest user.

Your health is our priority, and we understand that medical billing can be confusing. Our goal is to make your complete experience as simple, clear and effective as possible.

Our representatives are here to help. Call 913-588-7850 to speak with a financial counselor.

Understand the cost of care

It can be challenging to understand the cost of healthcare up front. But there are resources to support you. First, you can always contact your insurance carrier directly to understand your coverage. Second, try our price estimate tool available within MyChart and accessible to both MyChart users and guests. It captures and shares expected costs for a variety of common healthcare needs and takes into account many specific insurance plans. And finally, our financial advisors are always happy to help you. In Kansas City, call 913-588-7850 or email FinancialCounselor@KUMC.edu. In Great Bend, call 620-791-5054 or email GBC-FinancialCounselor@KUMC.edu.

If you're having difficulty paying your bill at this time, we can help. Contact us Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., at 913-588-5820 or 877-287-6268.
