Across the U.S., many families know firsthand how high maternity care costs are. As noted in The Times recently, giving birth in the U.S. is more expensive than any other country in the world. Total costs average $18,329 for a vaginal delivery and $27,866 for a C-section, with the bulk of the bill going to insurers. However, families with insurance still have to pay about $3400 out of pocket.
If you have insurance, the consumer reporting website Cost Helper states that your baby's birth may cost between $500 and $3,000 in addition to out-of-pocket expenses.ccording to a report by the March of Dimes, the average cost of childbirth is over $3,000 higher for a Cesarean delivery than a vaginal delivery. This cost difference is not passed on to the insured consumer, however, as the difference in out-of-pocket costs between the two types of deliveries was only about $60.
