They have already understood that caesarean sections are safe, so there is no need to have so many concerns.

How long will the cost of cesarean section be reimbursed? Today I will give you a detailed introduction.

Caesarean section surgery fee

Cesarean section usually uses combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, which is to inject anesthesia on the back, and then a puncture needle is placed, through which anesthetics are continuously administered. This type of anesthesia keeps the pregnant woman conscious, and after the baby is born, the pregnant woman can hear the baby crying, which will not affect the baby. The cost of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia is about 1,000 yuan. If the pregnant woman has a spinal deformity, spinal-epidural anesthesia cannot be used. General anesthesia can be used. The cost of general anesthesia is higher, about 2,000 yuan.

The price of a cesarean section varies greatly depending on the level of the hospital and the characteristics of the hospital. If it is done in a general secondary hospital, the price of a caesarean section is around 6,000 yuan. If it is done in a public tertiary hospital, the price of a caesarean section is around 8,000 yuan. If it is done in a Grade 3 hospital, the cost of a caesarean section can be around 10,000 to 12,000 yuan. But if it is done in a high-end private hospital, the cost of a caesarean section can often be more than 20,000 yuan.

How long does it take to get reimbursed for a caesarean section?

When will the cost of caesarean section be reimbursed? It depends on what kind of insurance you have, and the policies vary across the country. The cost of a caesarean section is generally more than 5,000 yuan. For those who have medical insurance or the new rural cooperative medical system, part of the expenses will be reimbursed. However, the anesthesia part and the pain pump are not covered by the reimbursement. The cost of a caesarean section depends on the level of the hospital clinic. The total demand, actual address, hospital clinic, and fee standards may vary from region to region. The normal cost of a caesarean section in a municipal hospital is about 5,000 yuan, and the normal cost of a caesarean section in a county hospital is about 3,000 yuan.

The delivery conditions of each pregnant woman are different, so the costs are also quite different. For example, some people have to go to the hospital to give birth very early, while some pregnant women go to the hospital to give birth only after they have spotting. The hospitalization expenses and examinations incurred during this period are undoubtedly different. Some pregnant women not only need to have a cesarean section, but also have to deal with pregnancy-induced hypertension, fetal distress and many other conditions before or after giving birth, so the costs may vary even in the same hospital. Therefore, the cost of caesarean section is generally between 5,000 and 10,000.

Cesarean section greatly improves the situation of difficult labor for pregnant women, but its price is more expensive than natural birth. Compared with natural birth, cesarean section has many advantages. It is safer and less likely to cause unnecessary harm to the baby. It does not cause the pain of natural childbirth to pregnant women and can greatly alleviate the pain of giving birth. Therefore, more and more pregnant women are beginning to choose cesarean section as a way of delivery.
