Gross charges are list prices, not what most patients pay. 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 vaginal delivery with additional surgery at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Arkansas hospitals missing from the list either don't perform vaginal delivery with additional surgery in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 768 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.
