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 $1,097.93 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 9 facilities here, median $1,243.57 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

What it is

What the price covers
