One side of the body : lowest $220.00, median $386.80, highest $386.80 — a 1.8× 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 outpatient, the same code is billed by 8 facilities here, median $386.67 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.
