Outpatient: lowest $616.42, median $4,266.50, highest $14,880.00 — a 24.1× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 5 facilities here, median $4,013.40. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
They are 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.
