Cesarean section delivery costs with insurance in the U.S. in 2022, by state
In 2022, the national median allowed value for c-section was 15,556 U.S. dollars. That is the median c-section cost for people with insurance using an in-network service*. This includes both the out-of-pocket amount and amount paid by insurance. In that year, Alaska had the highest cost for c-sections, with a median allowed value of about 25.5 thousand U.S. dollars per birth. On the other hand, for people without insurance or using out-of-network services, the cost of a c-section birth more than doubles.
