What is the average cost of having a baby through c-section in Florida?

I just found out that my husband and I are having our second child! We do not have insurance, though, and I don't think we qualify for government assistance. I am sure that we will find some program to help us, but what is the average cost for the full 9 months of having a baby through c-section in Florida? And what are the different costs? Thanks

What is the average cost of having a baby through c-section in Florida?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2005 45.8 million Americans do not have health insurance. If this figure includes you, you can anticipate an average hospital bill of $5,000-$10,000 for a vaginal delivery. Add at least $2,000 if you need a c-section. These figures do not include the medical costs associated with nine months of prenatal visits, ultrasound costs and other lab costs. If your baby is born premature or with health problems, neonatal costs can range from a few thousand for a short stay to more than $200,000 if you baby is born more than 15 weeks early.





Even those parents with health insurance can expect to pay coinsurance and deductibles related to pregnancy and childbirth
Reply:It depends on the OB. They also have payment plans where you pay monthly until paid in full for 4 or five months after your first trimester. Report It

Reply:Depends on your doctor, but in Florida the normal c-section is about 3100 (like i said, depending on your doctor).. That's not including doctor's visits that range from 100-200, nor is that including ultrasounds done.. I wish I knew a program that could help. Go get insurance! There are plenty of maternity cards out there just for people in your position. Good Luck
