Outpatient: lowest $537.42, median $1,148.48, highest $3,234.06 — a 6.0× difference within the same market.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 20 facilities here, median $1,533.05. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

1 row held back from this comparison

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 73723 ($2,483.25). 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.
