Data notes for Missouri

Missouri hospitals price newborn with major problems (Medicare DRG 793) anywhere from $3,068 to $12,529 — a $9,461 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Truman Medical Center Hospital Hill in Kansas City; the most expensive is Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach. The state average sits at $8,259.
Gross charges are list prices, not what most patients pay. 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 newborn with major problems at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
For newborn with major problems in Missouri, 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. Missouri hospitals missing from the list either don't perform newborn with major problems in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 793 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.
