Outpatient: lowest $12.95, median $59.80, highest $240.42 — a 18.6× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 26 facilities here, median $61.00. 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 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.
