The lowest accumulated charges paid to the hospital by patients for this diagnosis within the stated time period. Minimum

If the average is near the median, this usually means that most patients with this diagnosis required similar care. Average
The midpoint between the highest and lowest accumulated charges. If the median is very different than the average, then the average may not be a reliable indicator. If the median is similar to the average, this usually means that most patients with this diagnosis required similar care. Median

Percutaneous cardiovascular procedures with drug eluting stent without major cardiovascular diagnosis
A catheter-guided balloon is used to open a narrowed coronary artery in patients who had no major cardiovascular diagnosis. A stent (a wire-mesh tube that expands to hold an artery open) is placed at the section of the narrowed artery. In this case, the stent is coated with a substance that slowly releases a drug to keep scar tissue from forming and reclogging heart arteries after the procedure.
