depends on the hospital and insurance. Mine cost $1300, but it was worth every penny. I fell asleep after I got mine, woke up 4 hours later and gave birth. The trick is to make sure the epidural goes directly in the middle of your spine- if it's too much to the right or the left, you could still have feeling on the other side, so if you need to, help direct the person putting in the epi so it goes right in the middle

Anesthesiologists of Greater Orlando charged us $5000. Our Insurance would only cover $2000 towards our pregnancy which of course was exhausted from just the OB's bill. So after a "discounted price" for United Healthcare Golden Rule they gave a $2000 discount so final bill is $3000 that I'm going to bend over and have to pay despite paying $566 a month for health insurance!!!!!!!! ugggh
