Inpatient: lowest $98.40, median $98.40, highest $98.40.

Both sides : lowest $185.92, median $185.92, highest $185.92.

The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $98.40 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

What it is
