California hospitals price newborn with significant problems (Medicare DRG 794) anywhere from $1,476 to $42,751 — a $41,275 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Adventist Health Clear Lake in Clearlake; the most expensive is Adventist Health White Memorial in Los Angeles. The state average sits at $9,632.
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 significant problems at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
For newborn with significant problems in California, 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. California hospitals missing from the list either don't perform newborn with significant problems in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 794 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.
