Outpatient: lowest $1,450.33, median $3,363.43, highest $4,152.85 — a 2.9× difference within the same market.

One side of the body : lowest $2,768.35, median $2,768.35, highest $18,418.10 — a 6.7× difference within the same market.

The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 5 facilities here, median $4,152.85. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 4 facilities here, median $2,768.35. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
