Compare hospitals → What is newborn with significant problems?
A newborn with a health issue after birth — such as feeding difficulty, jaundice, or mild breathing trouble — that needs extra monitoring or treatment before going home.
Newborn with Significant Problems is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 794, classified within the Maternity diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
