Introduction: hypertension complicates between 7% and 10% of all pregnancies. Hypertensive disorders determine repeated hospitalizations, longer hospital stays and increased rates of hospitalization in the intensive care unit, which increases hospital costs. It is essential to know the costs of health services to identify the units that need to reduce it, to control spending and eliminate wastes. Objective: To identify and analyze the costs (direct, indirect and total) of assistance provided to hypertensive pregnant women during prenatal care, hospitalization and childbirth. Subjects and Methods: We performed a retrospective, exploratory and quantitative study of pregnant women who received prenatal and delivery care at the Hospital of the Botucatu Medical School - UNESP (HC-FMB-UNESP) in the period of one year (January to December 2011). Costs of 80 patients diagnosed with hypertension and 80 normotensive pregnant women (control group) were analyzed. We used an instrument consisting of two worksheets, in which the data were obtained from medical records and information provided by Cost Center of HC-FMB-UNESP. Results: The indirect, direct and total costs corresponding to prenatal care did not differentiate the groups. On admission there was a significant difference between the control and hypertensive pregnant women when the values of costs (indirect, direct and total) were compared. The value of the total cost of delivery was also significantly higher in the group of hypertensive pregnant women than in the control group. When we analyzed the group of hypertensive pregnant women, stratified according to the clinical manifestation of hypertension, preeclampsia and chronic hypertension superimposed by preeclampsia were both responsible for the higher cost. Conclusion: the total cost of health care for hypertensive pregnant women is greater than that of normotensive pregnant women and among hypertensive women, forms of manifestation ...
