Nearby hospitals: maternity outcomes

A comparable Leapfrog measure is the low-risk, first-birth cesarean rate. Lower is generally preferable for this specific measure, but does not determine the best hospital for every pregnancy.

Bellevue

NYU Langone (Tisch)
28.4%
Woodhull
18.9%

NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue: 23.6% low-risk cesarean; 0.5% episiotomy; 1,533 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.

NYU Langone Tisch Hospital: 28.4% low-risk cesarean; 2.6% episiotomy; 5,249 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull: 18.9% low-risk cesarean; 1.7% episiotomy; 1,339 live births. Leapfrog hospital report.

Published Leapfrog hospital-level maternity measures; not individual midwife outcomes. Reporting periods and patient mix may differ.

Mabel Estimates are scenario-based, not personalized benefits calculations. Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers describe broad cost-sharing levels, not fixed maternity prices. Individual coverage and clinical credentials should be confirmed directly before booking.
