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.
While the typical cost of a vaginal delivery ranges from around $9,000 to $17,000, a C-section can range from $14,000 to $25,000, provided there are no complications, according to CostHelper.com. Part of the cost difference is due to the need for mothers to stay longer in the hospital after a C-section.here are a number of factors that go into making up your hospital pregnancy bills. In addition to the facility charge for mom, there will likely be a separate nursery bill for the baby, which typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000, but can soar if the baby is premature or has other complications.
