How much does foreign IVF cost?
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is usually used to solve the problem of infertility. There are many costs to consider when carrying out IVF abroad, including medical costs, drug costs, surgery costs and other related costs. The following is a detailed description of the costs of foreign IVF from four aspects.
medical expense
Foreign countries need to pay medical expenses for IVF, including doctors, technicians, nursing and surgical equipment. The medical expenses of different countries and hospitals will be different. Take the United States as an example, the medical cost of a test tube baby is about 20000 to 30000 dollars. In the UK, the medical cost of IVF is provided by the National Public Health System (NHS), and patients need to pay a certain part of their own expenses, about 5000 to 10000 pounds.
In addition, medical expenses also include treatment costs. In general, a single IVF treatment requires multiple cycles to succeed. The medical expenses and testing expenses of each cycle need to be borne by the patient. Therefore, medical expenses are an important part of IVF.
Drug expenses
A series of drugs are required for IVF, including ovulation promoting drugs, hormone drugs, antithrombotic drugs, etc. The cost of these drugs is also part of the cost of IVF. The cost of drugs depends on the situation, and will vary from country to country and hospital to hospital.
Take the United States as an example, the cost of ovulation promoting drugs used in IVF treatment is about US $2000 to US $3000. In the UK, due to the support of the national public medical system, patients only need to pay a part of the drug costs, about 500 to 1000 pounds. Therefore, when choosing foreign countries for IVF, patients need to consider the cost of drugs.
Operation expenses
IVF is an operation that requires in vitro fertilization (IVF) or embryo transfer. The cost of surgery is also part of the cost of IVF. Different countries and hospitals have different charging standards for surgery fees.
Take Bangkok IVF in Thailand as an example, the cost of IVF is between 2000 and 3000 dollars. The cost of IVF at Genea in Australia is between 5000 and 7000 Australian dollars. The operation cost is an important part of IVF, which requires patients to understand and consider in advance.
Other related expenses
Other related expenses will be incurred for IVF abroad, including travel expenses, accommodation expenses, food expenses, etc. Patients and their families need to go to the hospital and find suitable accommodation near the hospital. These costs vary by region and individual needs.
In addition, there are some additional costs, such as embryo freezing costs and embryo storage costs. If there is a need for embryo freezing and storage during IVF treatment, patients need to pay additional fees.
summary
There are many costs to consider when carrying out IVF in foreign countries, including medical costs, drug costs, surgery costs and other related costs. The cost standard varies from country to country and from hospital to hospital. When choosing a suitable hospital and country, patients need to consider all aspects of costs comprehensively and make trade-offs.
