Outpatient: lowest $6.46, median $21.19, highest $35.91 — a 5.6× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $21.19. 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 81003 ($25.50). 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.
