Outpatient: lowest $240.45, median $1,104.82, highest $2,603.45 — a 10.8× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 5 facilities here, median $1,104.82. 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 64483 ($1,505.00). 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.
