What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.
National vs Nevada
Where Nevada ranks for this CPT
Cesarean Delivery (Global) and how Nevada is priced
Nevada's Medicare rates flow from a single statewide locality with adjustments a little above the national midpoint, shaped mostly by Las Vegas wage and cost levels. Clark County holds nearly three quarters of the state's population, so the statewide factors largely mirror the Las Vegas economy, with Reno and the rural counties along for the ride. A procedure in Elko is approved at the same amount as one on the Strip's doorstep. The gap between that uniform pricing and Nevada's very uneven provider supply is what patients notice most.
Nevada has long ranked among the states with the fewest physicians per resident, and the shortage is sharpest in specialties, so waits and travel are common even in Las Vegas. Reno serves the north and pulls some patients from rural Nevada and eastern California. Many rural Nevadans cross into Utah, Arizona, or California for procedures, and complex cases are often referred to Los Angeles, Phoenix, or Salt Lake City.
This procedure: This is the global maternity package for a planned or unplanned cesarean birth: routine prenatal visits, the cesarean delivery, and postpartum care in a single physician fee. A cesarean is major abdominal surgery performed in an operating room under spinal or epidural anesthesia, usually taking under an hour, with the parent awake for the birth. The hospital stay is longer than for a vaginal birth, typically two to four nights, with a six-week surgical recovery at home.
What Is Cesarean Delivery (Global)?
This is the global maternity package for a planned or unplanned cesarean birth: routine prenatal visits, the cesarean delivery, and postpartum care in a single physician fee. A cesarean is major abdominal surgery performed in an operating room under spinal or epidural anesthesia, usually taking under an hour, with the parent awake for the birth. The hospital stay is longer than for a vaginal birth, typically two to four nights, with a six-week surgical recovery at home.
What Affects the Cost
- –Hospital facility charges are substantially higher than for vaginal delivery, driven by operating room time and the longer inpatient stay.
- –The anesthesiologist bills separately for the spinal or epidural and for attending the surgery.
- –The newborn's own hospital account starts at birth, and cesarean deliveries have higher rates of brief NICU observation, which is billed at NICU rates.
- –An assistant surgeon, common in cesareans, may bill an additional professional fee.
- –Prenatal ultrasounds, labs, and any high-risk specialist visits are billed outside the global package.
- –A scheduled cesarean is generally cheaper than one that follows a long, fully billed labor with an epidural already running.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.What are the hospital's facility charges for a cesarean, including the typical length of stay?
- 2.Will an assistant surgeon be present, and do they bill separately under my plan?
- 3.Is the anesthesiology group in network, and what does the spinal or epidural cost?
- 4.How likely is NICU observation for my situation, and how would that be billed for the baby?
- 5.If I am attempting vaginal birth first, how do charges stack if it converts to a cesarean?

Cesarean Delivery (Global) in Nevada: questions
Nevada is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 59510 is $2,401.49 in an office and $2,401.49 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Nevada uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $480 for the office physician line or $480 for the hospital physician line in Nevada. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $2,401.49 is the Medicare physician allowed amount for CPT 59510. Anesthesia, facility fees, implants, and other CPT codes billed the same day are extra. Nevada ranks #25 of 51 states on this physician line (3% below the national office rate of $2,473.34).
