$106.06 | $367.00 | 71% | Jan 25, 2026 file |
Outpatient: lowest $106.06, median $106.06, highest $106.06.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $106.06. 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.
