Compare hospitals → What is vaginal delivery?
A vaginal birth, without tubal ligation or a D&C, for a mother with serious health complications. The stay covers labor, delivery, close monitoring of mother and baby, and recovery.
Vaginal Delivery is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 805 (with major 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.
