Both sides : lowest $4,500.00, median $4,500.00, highest $4,500.00.

Inpatient: lowest $505.50, median $3,000.00, highest $5,467.50 — a 10.8× 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 outpatient, the same code is billed by 4 facilities here, median $4,500.00 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 32 facilities here, median $4,531.42 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.
