Outpatient: lowest $2,079.35, median $2,079.35, highest $2,079.35.

One side of the body : lowest $900.00, median $1,142.90, highest $1,385.80 — a 1.5× difference within the same market.

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 1 facility here, median $2,079.35. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
