This was in Provo, UT, a student town where 50% of students and many of those couples have at least one child while attending school (my wife and I are one of those). The city therefore has a significantly higher than average birthrate but since the student population is transitory the population doesn't really grow that much. The effect of all this is that the hospital has an abnormally large amount of childbirths, and has become pretty darn efficient at it. That probably contributes to a lower cost.
