What it costs to give birth at Highland Hospital

Here’s what Highland Hospital reported charging for labor and delivery, plus what real parents say they paid out of pocket.

Published · billed charge$6,877Average billed charge, vaginal birth (1,831 deliveries in 2021). Median for an uncomplicated (“minor”) stay: $6,081. Hospital’s own estimated cost: $3,932
Published · billed charge$16,938Average billed charge, C-section (737 deliveries in 2021). Median for an uncomplicated (“minor”) stay: $14,900. Hospital’s own estimated cost: $6,287
What these numbers are (and aren’t): a billed charge is the hospital’s list price for the facility stay, before insurance discounts. If you’re insured, you’ll usually owe much less — often your deductible plus coinsurance, up to your plan’s out-of-pocket max. These figures do not include your OB or midwife, anesthesia, or baby’s own hospital bill.
