BLS metro-level wage data places Family Medicine Physicians pay in Kansas City, MO-KS at a median of $213,950 per year ($102.86/hr/hour), drawn from the OEWS May 2025 release for this Metropolitan Statistical Area. Compared to the national median of $244,180, Kansas City pays 12% below, which typically tracks with a lower local cost of living or smaller specialized-employer cluster. Approximately 590 family medicine physicianss are employed across the Kansas City MSA in SOC 29-1215.

The Kansas City pay distribution spans from $74,550 at the 10th percentile to $425,160 at the 90th — a 5.7× spread that reflects experience tenure, specialization, employer size, and the difference between public-sector, nonprofit, and private-sector compensation inside the metro. The 25th percentile sits at $162,160 and the 75th at $308,410, so half of Kansas City-based family medicine physicianss earn within that middle band.

Metro figures capture where you actually work, not just where you live — which matters for commuters. BLS draws metro boundaries from the OMB MSA definitions, so Kansas City, MO-KS covers the central city plus outlying counties tied to the metro economically. Remember that OEWS wages reflect base pay only: employer-provided health insurance, retirement matches, stock options, signing bonuses, overtime, and tips are excluded and can add 20-40% to real total compensation. Before using this metro median as a negotiation anchor, triangulate against the same occupation's national profile (linked below), its state-wide MO data, and peer-metro comparisons — a median is a starting point, not a ceiling.
