The prices that employers and insurers in central Texas pay for an ordinary in-hospital birth can range from $2,308 to $20,384, depending on what the payers have negotiated, according to Texas 2036.

Texas 2036, a nonprofit group that provides data and planning support services for Texas policymakers, is posting that kind of cost data to get Texas employers and hospitals interested in the idea of hospitals providing pricing data in a standardized, machine-readable format, to make pricing patterns easier for employers and other payers to analyze.
