Outpatient: lowest $8.00, median $17.20, highest $17.20 — a 2.2× difference within the same market.
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.
