Both sides : lowest $4,277.32, median $4,277.32, highest $4,277.32.

Outpatient: lowest $2,851.55, median $2,851.55, highest $2,851.55.

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 $4,277.32. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
