Obstetrics Emergency Department Claims
Released: February 2022
This analysis shows the frequency of women receiving an additional Emergency Department (ED) charge with a normal labor and delivery. The data provides the volume and percentage of normal, routine vaginal deliveries with an additional ED charge, and provides breakouts by payer type (Medicaid or commercial), trends over time, and by ED facility severity level code. Average allowed amounts (patient and plan paid) for vaginal delivery in CO with and without an ED charge are also included.
