estimated cost of c section delivery
Notably, a vaginal delivery at St. Lucie was much lower â starting at $3,700 â while at Fort Walton Beach vaginal deliveries estimates were among the highest in the network, starting at $7,124. At some hospitals, for example, there was not much difference between the estimated cost of c-section and vaginal deliveries.t the low end of the HCA pay scale was Las Colinas Medical Center in Texas, where the average cost of a c-section ranged from $1,692 to $2,071, and a vaginal delivery cost between $1,304 and $1,594.
1 In most plans, that ranges from about $1,500 to $3,000. 2  According to a study by the March of Dimes Foundation, the average out-of-pocket cost for a vaginal delivery for privately insured patients was $463 and for a C-section, $523. The biggest factors affecting the cost of a birth are: whether it is vaginal or Cesarean; whether there are complications; and the length of the hospital stay. 2  Geographical location also plays a part; baby delivery is most expensive in the Northeast and on the West coast and least expensive in the south.
