Compare hospitals → What is vaginal delivery?
Childbirth through vaginal delivery, with an added condition that made the stay more complicated. The stay includes labor and delivery care and recovery time for mother and baby before going home.
Vaginal Delivery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 806 (with complications), classified within the Maternity diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
