Might there be hidden damage after a small rear end collision? S70 1998

A Jeep Grand Cherokee ran into my rear bumper while I was waiting to merge into traffic. My head got snapped back into the headrest fairly hard, and my S70 was pushed several feet, but I was surprised to see that the bumper looked like it absorbed most of the collision. Lots of paint flaked off the bumper and the bumper is dented, but the trunk appears to be undamaged. I'm wondering if I should be concerned about hidden frame damage, or other long term problems? Or am I just looking at painting and/or replacing the bumper. Has anyone had a similar experience, and can estimate the repair cost? Any recommendations for repair shops West of Boston, MA would also be appreciated. Thanks.
