The cost of a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure varies depending on whether you have insurance and the trimester of the pregnancy. Here's a breakdown of the average costs based on data from FAIR Health:
D&C Costs by Trimester and Insurance Status
| Trimester | With Insurance | Without Insurance |
|---|---|---|
| First Trimester | $4,307 | $8,445 |
| Second Trimester | $5,301 | $9,742 |
The data indicates a significant difference in price between having insurance and not having it. Additionally, the cost of a D&C increases as the pregnancy progresses into the second trimester. For example, a first-trimester D&C costs an average of $4,307 with insurance, compared to $8,445 without insurance. In the second trimester, these costs rise to $5,301 with insurance and $9,742 without insurance. It's crucial to confirm costs with your specific healthcare provider and insurance company, as these figures represent averages and can vary.
Therefore, the cost of a D&C varies based on insurance coverage and the pregnancy stage, with first-trimester costs averaging $4,307 with insurance or $8,445 without insurance, while second-trimester costs average $5,301 with insurance or $9,742 without insurance.
