Outpatient: lowest $14.48, median $130.48, highest $227.60 — a 15.7× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 11 facilities here, median $130.48. 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 84153 ($82.55). 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.
