$19.20 | $48.00 | 60% | — file |
Outpatient: lowest $19.20, median $19.20, highest $19.20.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $19.20. 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 81001 ($36.50). 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.
