$2,555.25 | $2,555.25 | — | Sep 9, 2025 file |
Outpatient: lowest $1,641.65, median $2,365.30, highest $2,555.25 — a 1.6× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 3 facilities here, median $2,365.30. 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.
