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 1 facility here, median $2,243.80 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

What it is

This is repair of an inguinal (groin) hernia for the first time, using a camera and instruments through small cuts. The surgeon pushes the tissue back and covers the weak spot, usually with mesh.

What the price covers

The facility price covers the operating room and recovery; mesh may be included or listed as a separate supply. The surgeon's fee and general anesthesia are billed separately.
