What it is

This is a 'global' maternity code for routine care during pregnancy, a vaginal delivery and care after birth. It is billed by the doctor or midwife and covers routine prenatal visits, the delivery itself, and routine postpartum visits.

What the price covers

It covers the delivering clinician's services. The hospital's labor and delivery stay, anesthesia (such as an epidural), lab tests, ultrasounds and the newborn's care are billed separately.

1 row held back from this comparison

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 59400 ($4,037.48). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
