One side of the body : lowest $172.73, median $172.73, highest $386.80 — a 2.2× difference within the same market.

Both sides : lowest $773.20, median $773.20, highest $773.20.

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 3 facilities here, median $172.73. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
