Outpatient: lowest $12.00, median $124.50, highest $242.25 — a 20.2× difference within the same market.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 9 facilities here, median $124.50. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

1 row held back from this comparison

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 84443 ($83.07). 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.
