California hospitals price vaginal delivery with additional surgery (Medicare DRG 768) anywhere from $7,080 to $105,873 — a $98,793 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is San Joaquin General Hospital in French Camp; the most expensive is Ridgecrest Regional Hospital in Ridgecrest. The state average sits at $40,661.

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.

For vaginal delivery with additional surgery in California, 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. California 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.
