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.
