Vaginal delivery

Vaginal delivery, inpatient stay included.

Routine vaginal delivery of a baby. Inpatient stay typically 1–2 nights. Obstetrician, anesthesia (epidural), and hospital facility are part of the episode; some are commonly billed by separate providers.

What's included

Each component is a category of charge that contributes to the total bill. Items marked “billed separately” are still part of the episode, but you'll receive that bill from a different provider.

Common questions

What's included in the vaginal delivery package?
Routine vaginal delivery of a baby. Inpatient stay typically 1–2 nights. Obstetrician, anesthesia (epidural), and hospital facility are part of the episode; some are commonly billed by separate providers.
What's typically billed separately for vaginal delivery?
These components are usually billed by a different provider on a separate invoice: epidural anesthesia. They're still part of the episode of care.
How does the vaginal delivery package price get calculated?
Cleartau sums per-component representative prices across the procedure, facility, anesthesia, and (where applicable) implant lines. The package median equals the sum of per-component medians; min and max work the same way. When a hospital publishes a formula (e.g. "150% of Medicare") instead of a dollar amount, the formula is resolved against the matching CMS fee schedule before aggregation.
