Outpatient: lowest $85.80, median $85.80, highest $85.80.

Both sides : lowest $85.80, median $85.80, highest $85.80.

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 1 facility here, median $85.80. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

This code covers a steroid injection into a tendon sheath or ligament, such as for trigger finger, de Quervain's tenosynovitis or plantar fasciitis.
