Outpatient: lowest $23.70, median $23.70, highest $23.70.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $23.70. 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 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.
