Newborn with Major Problems Cost in South Dakota — Compare All Hospitals

8 South Dakota hospitals publish gross charges for newborn with major problems (DRG 793). Prices range from $8,501 to $38,658 — roughly $30,157 apart. The cheapest is Prairie Lakes Hospital in Watertown; the most expensive is Monument Health Custer Hospital in Custer. The state average sits at $28,873.

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 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 South Dakota, 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.

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 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.
