Pregnancy—fees for maternity services for self-insured women
What are the costs and what do they cover?
The cost of your hospital stay, for you and your baby, is based on the estimated fees for a standard natural, or caesarean, birth. Please contact our friendly Patient Financial Liaison Officer to discuss the estimated fees for your admission, considering your individual circumstances:
