C-Section Cost in Gainesville, FL

How much does a c-section cost without insurance in Gainesville?

No cash price is published for a c-section at the one hospital on this page. HCA Florida North Florida Hospital lists its cash price for code 59510 as not published, so that figure is missing data rather than a real price, and no cash range can be given. The hospital's insured rates run from $1,950 to $35,535, but those are negotiated insurer rates and not self-pay prices. Without a published cash figure, the facility price for a self-pay patient is not shown in the data. Professional fees, such as the surgeon and anesthesiologist, are billed separately from the facility charge.

Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?

A gross charge is a hospital's full list price, and it is often much higher than what anyone actually pays. On this page, the comparison cannot be made. HCA Florida North Florida Hospital published its gross charge and cash price for code 59510 as $0 or blank, so both are missing data and no cash-to-gross percentage is available. In general, cash prices are set lower than gross charges as discounted self-pay rates, but this data contains no cash figure to measure. The only published facility figures here are insured rates, which range from $1,950 to $35,535.

Does insurance cover a c-section?

Whether insurance applies to a c-section depends on the specific plan, so the plan documents and insurer are the source for that. This page shows that HCA Florida North Florida Hospital has published 57 rates for code 59510, ranging from $1,950 to $35,535 depending on the insurer and plan type. Molina Healthcare lists the lowest and Cigna the highest in this table. If you are on a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you usually pay the plan's negotiated rate for the facility charge until the deductible is met. Your insurer can confirm the rate for your plan.

Are there additional fees beyond the c-section facility charge?

Yes. The facility charge is only one part of the total bill for a cesarean delivery. Separate bills often come from the delivering obstetrician or surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and sometimes an assistant surgeon. Pathology and laboratory services, such as blood work, may be billed on their own, as may a pediatrician or neonatal team who care for the newborn, and the newborn's own hospital stay. Medications, supplies, and any extended stay may also appear as additional line items. Each provider may bill separately, so itemized statements from each can show what is included.
