$335.79 | $335.79 | — | Apr 1, 2026 file |
Outpatient: lowest $59.52, median $94.29, highest $335.79 — a 5.6× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 4 facilities here, median $94.29. 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 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.
