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.

PE GPCI ranges from 0.996 to 1.111 in Oregon. That index is why the same CPT is not one price statewide.
Vaginal Delivery (Global) and how Oregon is priced
Oregon splits into a Portland metro locality and a rest-of-state locality, so the fee schedule prices the Willamette Valley's biggest market above Eugene, Bend, Medford, and the rural east. Portland's higher wages and office costs justify the premium, while the rest-of-state locality covers everything from the coast to the high desert at lower adjustments. The two-tier structure means an identical procedure is approved at different amounts on either side of the metro boundary. Oregon's overall indices sit somewhat above the national midpoint, led by the Portland side.
Portland concentrates the state's academic medicine and subspecialty care, drawing patients from all of Oregon and southwest Washington. Bend has grown into a notable central Oregon hub, and Medford serves the southern counties, but the eastern two thirds of the state remains sparsely served, with some residents closer to Boise than to Portland. Coastal communities also face limited local procedure options.
This procedure: This code is not a single procedure but the entire package of routine pregnancy care with a vaginal birth: all standard prenatal visits, the delivery itself including any needed episiotomy or forceps assistance, and postpartum checkups. Labor and delivery happen in a hospital or birth center, and the global code represents roughly ten months of care by the obstetrician or midwifery practice. The hospital stay for an uncomplicated vaginal birth is typically one to two nights.
What Is Vaginal Delivery (Global)?
This code is not a single procedure but the entire package of routine pregnancy care with a vaginal birth: all standard prenatal visits, the delivery itself including any needed episiotomy or forceps assistance, and postpartum checkups. Labor and delivery happen in a hospital or birth center, and the global code represents roughly ten months of care by the obstetrician or midwifery practice. The hospital stay for an uncomplicated vaginal birth is typically one to two nights.
What Affects the Cost
- –The hospital's facility charges for labor, delivery, and the postpartum stay are separate from and usually larger than the physician's global fee.
- –An epidural is billed by the anesthesiologist as an entirely separate charge.
- –Your newborn generates a second, separate hospital account from the moment of birth, including nursery or NICU care and pediatrician visits.
- –Ultrasounds, lab panels, and genetic screening during pregnancy are billed outside the global fee, visit by visit.
- –Extra visits for complications like gestational diabetes or hypertension fall outside routine prenatal care and are billed additionally.
- –If labor ends in an unplanned cesarean, the physician claim converts to the cesarean global code at a higher rate and the hospital stay lengthens.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.What does your global fee include, and which common services, like ultrasounds and labs, will be billed separately?
- 2.What are the hospital's typical facility charges for a vaginal delivery and postpartum stay?
- 3.Is the anesthesiology group that places epidurals at your hospital in my network?
- 4.How is the baby's hospital care billed, and what do I need to do to enroll the baby on my insurance?
- 5.If I end up needing a cesarean, how do the physician and hospital charges change?
