Pregnancy and birth cost in Oregon without insurance

In Oregon, the median cash price for Vaginal birth is $6,990.75 across 9 hospitals, from $3,939.00 to $6,990.75. The lowest is at Blue Mountain Hospital (John Day). The US median is $3,815.00.

Oregon law (ORS 442.614) requires nonprofit hospitals to cut what patients owe for medically necessary care by 100% for household income up to 200% of the federal poverty level, and by at least 75%, 50% or 25% up to 400%. Ask the hospital for its financial assistance application. Other states' laws.

Pregnancy care is billed in several parts: the delivering clinician's global fee (59400 for a vaginal birth, 59510 for a cesarean, 59610 for a vaginal birth after cesarean) covers routine prenatal visits, the delivery and postpartum care, while the hospital stay, anesthesia, lab tests, ultrasounds and the newborn's care are billed separately. The most important price fact is that the global fee in the table is not the total cost of having a baby.

Paying cash: what to do

  • Ask the hospital whether it offers a self-pay maternity package for the delivery stay, and what it excludes, such as an epidural, a cesarean or newborn care.
  • Apply for Medicaid as soon as you know you are pregnant; pregnancy coverage often has higher income limits than other adult coverage, and it can sometimes start retroactively.
  • Ask both the clinician and the hospital for a Good Faith Estimate that lists the expected codes for delivery, anesthesia and newborn care.
