Insurance & Billing
Tallgrass Surgical Center , LLC accepts most insurance plans. To find out if we are a participating provider in your plan, please feel free to contact our Business Office at (785) 272-8807.

Our facility fee covers supplies, medications, equipment, personnel and the use of the operating and recovery room. Your overall facility fee will be higher if multiple surgical procedures are performed or an overnight stay is required after surgery. The following services will be billed separately:
- Surgeon
- Anesthesia, if you receive anesthesia or it becomes necessary for an anesthesiologist to be available for your surgery.
- Laboratory tests, if performed pre-operatively or post-operatively.
- Pathology, if tissue or specimens are removed during surgery.
- Radiology exams, if performed pre-operatively or post-operatively.
Expected financial costs are merely estimates, and the final determination of benefits is made once the claim for services has been processed.
