Common questions
How much does vaginal delivery with postpartum care cost at a hospital in Pennsylvania?
The cash price for vaginal delivery with postpartum care at the Pennsylvania hospitals whose price files we have read so far is $6,847. The typical rate commercial insurers have negotiated is $3,340. These are hospital prices; independent clinics, imaging centers and labs often charge less.

Before you go
- Ask for an estimate. Hospitals must give uninsured and self-pay patients a written good-faith estimate before planned care.
- Check the network. Confirm that the hospital and the doctors are in your plan's network.
- Ask about financial help. Non-profit hospitals must have a financial assistance policy; many discount or forgive bills by income.
- Get an itemized bill. Compare it with the estimate and question anything you don't recognise.
