What it costs to give birth at Queens Hospital Center

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

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.
