Show Expensive hospital PRICE The embattled em-battled Castleview Hospital was dealt another blow recently when a study pinpointed the facility as the most expensive in the state for normal childbirth procedures. "Comparative Prices for Utah Hospitals, 1981," released by the Utah Health Cost Management Foundation, showed Castleview at the top of the price scale. According to the study, a normal childbirth in Utah can range in price from a low of about $500 to Castleview's high of $1,200. The study showed Castleview averages between $1,100 to $1,200 for the procedure. |
