24 Indiana hospitals publish gross charges for extreme prematurity or newborn breathing problems (DRG 790). Prices range from $5,489 to $164,621 — roughly 30×. The cheapest is MHP Major Hospital in Shelbyville; the most expensive is St Mary Medical Center Inc (Acute Care) in Hobart. The state average sits at $73,169.
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 extreme prematurity or newborn breathing problems at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent extreme prematurity or newborn breathing problems admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities. Click any hospital name for its full quality profile — CMS overall star rating, mortality and readmission rates, patient-experience scores. When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.
Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Indiana hospitals missing from the list either don't perform extreme prematurity or newborn breathing problems in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 790 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.
