26 Indiana hospitals publish gross charges for c-section (DRG 786). Prices range from $9,107 to $61,672 — roughly $52,565 apart. The cheapest is Riverview Health in Noblesville; the most expensive is Marion General Hospital in Marion. The state average sits at $29,927.

These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists c-section at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

For c-section in Indiana, the price below is each hospital's gross charge for the facility portion of delivery — your actual out-of-pocket depends on insurance, length of stay, complications, and whether the obstetrician bills separately. Click any hospital name for its full maternity profile, including CMS star rating, patient-experience scores, and (where designated) the CMS Birthing-Friendly Hospital marker — a useful signal of maternity-care quality.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Indiana hospitals missing from the list either don't perform c-section in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 786 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
