Iowa hospitals price surgery for post-delivery complications (Medicare DRG 769) anywhere from $1,593 to $116,255 — a $114,662 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Wayne County Hospital in Corydon; the most expensive is Hansen Family Hospital in Iowa Falls. The state average sits at $85,095.
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 surgery for post-delivery complications at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
For surgery for post-delivery complications in Iowa, 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. Iowa hospitals missing from the list either don't perform surgery for post-delivery complications in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 769 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.
