Outpatient: lowest $259.80, median $626.70, highest $993.60 — a 3.8× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $626.70. 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 70450 ($996.32). 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.
