Data notes for Louisiana

Louisiana hospitals price postpartum complications (Medicare DRG 776) anywhere from $2,351 to $45,973 — a $43,622 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital in Sulphur; the most expensive is Ochsner LSU Health Monroe in Monroe. The state average sits at $17,119.
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 postpartum complications at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
For postpartum complications in Louisiana, 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. Louisiana hospitals missing from the list either don't perform postpartum complications in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 776 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.
