Hospitals get paid significantly more for C-sections than vaginal births — and that incentive shapes care.
In this 51-second breakdown, we explain why reimbursement models pay more for surgical deliveries, why postpartum care often goes unpaid, and what it means for patients navigating maternity care and hospital billing.
Ask your hospital before delivery:
• What is your C-section rate?
• How is vaginal delivery vs c section delivery reimbursed?
• What postpartum support is actually covered?
Follow for weekly healthcare incentive breakdowns — we expose how payment drives practice.
