Both sides : lowest $1,621.20, median $1,621.20, highest $1,621.20.

Outpatient: lowest $1,246.80, median $1,246.80, highest $1,246.80.

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 inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $1,621.20. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
