C-Section with Tubal Ligation Cost in South Dakota — Compare All Hospitals

6 South Dakota hospitals publish gross charges for c-section with tubal ligation (DRG 784). Prices range from $20,237 to $24,630 — roughly $4,393 apart. The cheapest is Prairie Lakes Hospital in Watertown; the most expensive is Monument Health Custer Hospital in Custer. The state average sits at $23,898.

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 with tubal ligation at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. South Dakota hospitals missing from the list either don't perform c-section with tubal ligation in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 784 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.
