One side of the body : lowest $193.60, median $262.10, highest $597.57 — a 3.1× difference within the same market.

Both sides : lowest $386.40, median $386.40, highest $386.40.

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 $262.10. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
