Birth Charges by State

The bar graph shows the median amount hospitals charge in each state for the most common birth types. Data do not reflect how much insurers or patients actually pay, which is usually substantially lower than what a hospital charges. (According to a 2014 study, on average, payments amount to 37 percent of charges.) Values apply only to hospital births, not to those taking place in birth centers or at home.
