What it costs to give birth at Oswego Hospital

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

Published · billed charge$8,343Average billed charge, vaginal birth (268 deliveries in 2021). Median for an uncomplicated (“minor”) stay: $7,823. Hospital’s own estimated cost: $6,451

Published · billed charge$18,246Average billed charge, C-section (96 deliveries in 2021). Median for an uncomplicated (“minor”) stay: $16,777. Hospital’s own estimated cost: $9,530

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.
