Outpatient: lowest $544.70, median $702.50, highest $702.50 — a 1.3× difference within the same market.

One side of the body : lowest $702.50, median $702.50, highest $702.50.

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.

What it is

A transforaminal epidural injection places steroid and numbing medicine near a specific nerve root in the lower back, using X-ray or CT guidance. It is used for pain that travels down the leg (sciatica). This code covers one spinal level.

What the price covers

The price covers the injection at one level with imaging guidance. Each additional level is billed with an add-on code (64484), and the doctor's fee and medicine may be separate.

2 rows held back from this comparison

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 64483 ($1,482.45). 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.
