C-Section Cost in Morristown, TN

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

No cash price is published for a c-section in Morristown in this dataset. Morristown-Hamblen Hospital, the only hospital on this page, lists no cash price for code 59510, so a self-pay figure cannot be given and the blank should be treated as missing data, not as a price of zero. The only published figures are insured rates, from $1,201 to $3,419. Anyone paying without insurance would need to contact the hospital's billing office for a quote. Professional fees, such as those from the surgeon and anesthesia providers, are billed separately from the facility charge and are not included in these figures.

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

On this page the comparison cannot be made, because Morristown-Hamblen Hospital published neither a gross charge nor a cash price for code 59510. Both are missing data, so there is no cash-to-gross percentage to report. In general, a gross charge is a list price set by the hospital that few patients pay in full, while a cash price reflects a discounted self-pay rate and negotiated rates reflect agreements with health plans. When a hospital publishes all three figures, the cash price is often a fraction of the gross charge. Here, only the insured range of $1,201 to $3,419 is available.

Does insurance cover a c-section?

Whether insurance covers a c-section depends on your specific plan, so the plan's documents or the insurer are the sources to check. In this dataset, Morristown-Hamblen Hospital has 97 published insured rates for code 59510, ranging from $1,201 to $3,419. United Healthcare Tenncare shows $1,201, and Cigna HMO, OAP and POS show $3,419. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you usually pay the plan's negotiated rate for the facility fee until the deductible is met. Your actual cost also depends on copays, coinsurance and network status.

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

Yes. The facility charge covers the hospital's side of the surgery, but other bills commonly arrive separately. These typically include the surgeon or obstetrician's professional fee, anesthesia services, and pathology or laboratory work. There may also be separate bills for the newborn's care, including a pediatrician or neonatal team if their services are needed, and for any additional imaging or medications billed outside the facility fee. Providers may be billed by different groups, even when care takes place at one hospital. Ask for an itemized statement from each provider to see how charges are divided.
