Outpatient: lowest $905.00, median $905.00, highest $905.00.

One side of the body : lowest $34,944.08, median $34,944.08, highest $34,944.08.

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 $905.00. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
