Data notes for California
- The lowest published charge ($1,630 at Colusa Medical Center) is unusually low for an inpatient stay. This may reflect a data-quality issue in the hospital's MRF rather than an actual price — verify directly with the hospital before relying on it.

California hospitals price pregnancy complications (Medicare DRG 832) anywhere from $1,630 to $52,524 — a $50,894 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Colusa Medical Center in Colusa; the most expensive is Adventist Health Glendale (Acute Care) in Glendale. The state average sits at $24,484.
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 pregnancy complications at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
For pregnancy complications 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 pregnancy complications in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 832 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.
