The average doctor charges for a vaginal delivery with nocomplications in the U.S. is $3,035, according to data from FAIRHealth, a health care nonprofit that keeps a national database ofinsurance claims. That includes the cost of routine care beforeand after the birth (but not tests like ultra sounds or amnio). Ifyou want an epidural (which, let’s be real, many women do),that’s another $2,132 on average. Prices vary considerablydepending on where you live. The average cost of a C-Sectionnationwide is $3,382, plus $1,646 for an epidural, FAIR Health found. 非盈利的医疗卫生机构FAIR Health拥有全美国保险理赔的数据库。他们的数据显示，在美国，孕妇顺产分娩且无并发症的情况下，平均要向医生缴纳3,035美元。其中包含了产前和产后的日常护理费用(但不包含超声检查和羊水诊断等)。如果你想在分娩时接受硬脊膜外麻醉(老实说，许多女性都会选择这种麻醉)，平均还要多掏2,132美元。根据居住地的不同，这些费用也有很大差别。FAIR Health还发现，在全美国范围内，剖腹产的平均费用为3,382美元，接受硬脊膜外麻醉还将产生平均1,646美元的额外费用。 But that’s just for your doctors—not the hospital. In a separate study published in the journalHealth Affairs last year, researchers found that the cost of a hospital stay to give birth ranged from$1,189 to $11,986, and that was for what were considered low-risk deliveries. |
