Outpatient: lowest $3,242.27, median $3,483.20, highest $3,797.55 — a 1.2× difference within the same market.

One side of the body : lowest $4,545.80, median $5,958.40, highest $6,566.00 — a 1.4× difference within the same market.

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 inpatient, the same code is billed by 3 facilities here, median $3,483.20. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
