Outpatient: lowest $872.36, median $1,241.50, highest $2,469.00 — a 2.8× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $1,059.06. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 45385 ($1,587.48). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
