Outpatient: lowest $998.76, median $1,181.78, highest $1,364.79 — a 1.4× difference within the same market.

One side of the body : lowest $2,257.20, median $2,257.20, highest $2,257.20.

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 2 facilities here, median $1,181.78. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $3,385.80. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
