Outpatient: lowest $109.88, median $109.88, highest $185.90 — a 1.7× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 2 facilities here, median $109.88. 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 90853 ($168.30). 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.
