$1,460.92 | $7,689.05 | 81% | Feb 3, 2026 file |
Outpatient: lowest $1,460.92, median $1,460.92, highest $1,460.92.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $1,460.92. 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 70553 ($2,489.40). 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.
