What do hospitals charge for the child delivery itself?

Question

What about a c-section? My insurance covers everything except for delivery and I'm just curious of what it costs.

Thank You

Answer 1

All hospitals are different the total cost of a vaginal delivery is about $10,000, I would contact your hospitals HR dept and they will be able to give you round about prices.

Answer 2

Vaginal no complication delivery is usually aroud 2 or 3,000, epidural I think is about $600 more. C-section runs around $10,000. If it's way out of your price range you may want to ask for some financial assistance, ask in the hospital where you will be delivering they'll most likely help you.

Answer 3

This is how it usually works - the hospital charges for the room and supplies etc.. The doctor's fee covers the fee for the delivery and/or surgery.

Answer 4

If I didn't have insurance it would've been about $27,000! I did have a few complications, but it's still really expensive. Oh and I also live in CA, so that might be a contributing factor as well.

Answer 5

I have heard that it cost 10,000 and that is just for a non-complicted birth. I hope you find better insurance that would be a hard hit to the pocket!

Answer 6

c-sections are in the 1,000 dollar range in Illinois. They charge because you are there.

Answer 7

i delivered my son c-section and it cost me almost $10,000. but i had a few complication. regardless, yes they charge, and yes it's way too expensive!!

Answer 8

depends on if it was a simple birth or a complicated if you had drugs or went natural if you had vaginal or ceserean.
