Outpatient: lowest $828.00, median $974.50, highest $1,121.00 — a 1.4× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $974.50. 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 90846 ($226.31). 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.
