They also know that the highest cost for maternity care is when a pre-term infant (those born at less than 39 completed weeks of gestation) is treated in the neonatal intensive care unit. For this reason\, employers nationwide want hospitals to reduce the number of early elective deliveries\, which increase the chances for complications for babies and mothers and and preventing C-sections whenever possible. A maternal complication during delivery adds almost $1\,000 to the cost of care\, while an uncomplicated C-section adds nearly $2\,000 to the bill. \n\n\nSuzanne F.
