Medical costs of third-generation IVF
As an advanced assisted reproductive technology, the third-generation IVF is both a hope and a huge financial burden for many families. It is very important to understand the cost of the third generation of IVF. The following will elaborate on the cost of the third generation of IVF from four aspects: medical expenses, drug expenses, evaluation expenses and other expenses.
medical expense
The implementation of third-generation IVF needs to be carried out in formal hospitals, of which medical expenses are the largest part. In China, for example, public hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai Fudan University Pediatrics Hospital, the cost of implementing third-generation IVF is about 80000 to 120000 yuan, while the cost of private hospitals is even higher, which can reach 150000 to 200000 yuan. Medical expenses include iodine superposition, ovarian stimulation drugs, egg retrieval process and embryo transfer.
In addition, medical expenses may increase due to some special circumstances. For example, if patients need additional tests such as gene screening, embryo chromosome examination or haploid identification, these costs also need to be included.
It should be noted that the medical expenses will vary according to the actual situation of the region and the hospital, so it is necessary to fully understand and consult when selecting the hospital.
Drug expenses
Drug cost is an important part in the process of three generations of IVF. During in vitro fertilization, patients need to receive ovarian stimulation treatment for a period of time to promote ovarian development. The cost of these ovulation promoting drugs is relatively high, generally ranging from several thousand yuan to more than ten thousand yuan.
In addition, some auxiliary drugs need to be used, such as progesterone, anticoagulants, etc. The cost of these drugs will also increase the total cost of drugs.
It should be noted that the drug costs vary from person to person, and some patients may need more drug support, so the specific costs need to be determined according to the doctor's recommendations and treatment plans.
Assessment fee
Before the third generation of IVF, doctors need to conduct a comprehensive physical assessment and examination of patients to ensure the success rate of patients and embryo transfer. These assessment costs include blood tests, reproductive hormone level tests, uterine and ovarian ultrasound and other costs. According to different inspection items, the appraisal cost may range from several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan.
In addition, consultation and inspection by reproductive medicine specialists are also needed to understand the specific conditions of patients and whether the diagnosis is suitable for third-generation IVF. The consultation fees of specialists should also be included in the total assessment fees.
It should be noted that in terms of cost assessment, the charging standards of different hospitals may be different, and patients need to take this factor into full consideration when choosing hospitals.
other expenses
In the process of three generations of IVF, there are some other costs that may need to be considered. For example, patients may need to spend a certain amount of transportation costs in the whole process of IVF, including the cost of going to and from the hospital, and may need to carry out multiple hospital examinations during the medical treatment.
In addition, patients may also need to be hospitalized in the hospital or stay in relevant accommodation facilities, which will also increase additional accommodation costs.
It should be noted that other expenses vary according to the specific conditions of patients, and are relatively flexible expense items.
Summary
The expenses of the third generation IVF include medical expenses, drug expenses, evaluation expenses and other expenses. Medical expenses are the largest among them, including iodine superposition, ovarian stimulation drugs, egg retrieval process and embryo transfer. Drug cost is an important part of IVF process, which needs to be budgeted. The cost of assessment includes the cost of physical assessment and examination, as well as the consultation cost of specialists. In addition, other costs, such as transportation costs and accommodation costs, need to be considered. Therefore, when deciding to carry out the third generation IVF, we need to fully understand and budget these costs and make rational decisions.
