In 2023, the national median charge amount* for a vaginal delivery was 28,655 U.S. dollars. That is the median cost for people giving birth naturally without insurance or had obtained an out-of-network service. That year, women in Nevada had the highest cost for having a baby without insurance, amounting to over 39 thousand U.S. dollars. For women with insurance, the allowed amount is less than half of those without insurance, and the actual out-of-pocket amount may be even lower due to deductibles.
