$86.25 | $115.00 | 25% | Jul 1, 2026 file |
Outpatient: lowest $37.70, median $37.70, highest $86.25 — a 2.3× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 13 facilities here, median $37.70. 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 80048 ($73.82). 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.
