C-Section Cost in Ocala, FL

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

No self-pay price can be stated for a c-section at the two Ocala hospitals in this data. HCA Florida Ocala Hospital and HCA Florida West Marion Hospital both show no published cash price for code 59510, so 0 of 2 rows have one. That is missing data, not a price of zero, and the gross charge is also missing at both hospitals. The only figures published are insured rates, from $1,950 to $35,535. Professional fees, such as the surgeon and anesthesia, 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?

A gross charge is a hospital's undiscounted list price, and a cash price is usually a reduced rate offered to self-pay patients, so the cash price is often a fraction of the gross charge. For this page that comparison cannot be made. Both HCA Florida Ocala Hospital and HCA Florida West Marion Hospital published the gross charge as $0 or blank for code 59510, and neither published a cash price. Because both figures are missing, there is no cash-to-gross percentage to report, and neither blank should be read as an actual price. Only the insured range of $1,950 to $35,535 appears in the files.

Does insurance cover a c-section?

Whether a c-section is covered depends on the specific plan, so the plan's own documents and the insurer are the places to confirm details. The price files list negotiated rates for code 59510 at both Ocala hospitals, from $1,950 to $35,535. At HCA Florida Ocala Hospital, 57 published rates range from $1,950 for Molina Healthcare to $35,535 for Cigna. If you are on a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you would usually pay your plan's negotiated rate for the facility charge until the deductible is met.

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

Yes. The facility charge covers the hospital's operating room, nursing, supplies, and stay, but other bills are typically separate. These can include the obstetrician or surgeon's professional fee, anesthesia services billed by the anesthesiologist, pathology or laboratory work, and the newborn's care, which is often billed under the baby's own account. Pediatric or neonatology staff, imaging, and any additional hospital days may also appear on separate statements. Because these providers can bill independently of the hospital, requesting itemized bills from each one gives a clearer picture of the full cost.
