13 Kentucky hospitals list a gross charge for pregnancy complications under the federal price-transparency rule, with quoted prices spanning $5,613 to $23,234. The cheapest is UK St. Claire in Morehead; the most expensive is Baptist Health La Grange in La Grange. The state average sits at $17,664.
What's published is the gross charge — the starting point, not what you'd actually owe. 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 Kentucky, 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. Kentucky hospitals missing from the list either don't perform pregnancy complications in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 831 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.
