Outpatient: lowest $17.10, median $74.50, highest $189.27 — a 11.1× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 6 facilities here, median $74.50. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 80053 ($107.50). 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.
