Outpatient: lowest $724.29, median $724.29, highest $869.19 — a 1.2× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $724.29. 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 55700 ($1,790.40). 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.
