13 Massachusetts hospitals publish gross charges for pregnancy complications (DRG 831). Prices range from $4,745 to $42,045 — roughly $37,300 apart. The cheapest is Southcoast Hospitals Group in Fall River; the most expensive is Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The state average sits at $21,920.
These numbers are list prices — what the hospital bills before any insurance adjustment. 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 Massachusetts, 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. Massachusetts 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.
