One side of the body : lowest $430.92, median $430.92, highest $430.92.

Both sides : lowest $861.42, median $861.42, highest $861.42.

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 outpatient, the same code is billed by 5 facilities here, median $320.45 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.
