C-section prices across Sutter Health s 24 hospitals ranged from $7,634 to $70,553 a report from the Health Care Cost Institute revealed. At Novato Community Hospital, commercial prices ranged more than five-fold for an upper gastrointestinal biopsy with an endoscope or by $32,821 for a C-section delivery. Still, the minimum C-section price at Sutter Coast Hospital was higher than most other commercial C-section prices at most hospitals, researchers noted.
