How to calculate the cost of the third generation IVF?
IVF technology is an important achievement of modern reproductive medicine, which brings hope to couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, the third generation of IVF needs some financial support, so it is very important for couples to understand how to calculate the cost.
1. Medical expenses
The first thing to consider is medical expenses. Three generations of IVF babies need to receive a series of examinations and treatments in professional hospitals. These costs include gene testing, egg collection, sperm extraction, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. The specific cost varies from region to region and hospital, but it usually ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of RMB.
In addition, there may be some additional examination and drug costs. For example, women may need hormone therapy to promote the growth and collection of eggs, and the costs in this regard also need to be taken into account.
In short, medical expenses are the primary cost for the third generation IVF. Couples need to consult the hospital in advance to understand all relevant expenses and be ready.
2. Psychological consultation fees
Receiving three generations of IVF treatment may bring psychological pressure to couples. They may face doubts and expectations from relatives and friends, as well as concerns about the treatment results. Therefore, psychological consultation plays a very important role in this process.
Psychological counselors will communicate with couples face to face to help them understand and cope with various emotions. They will provide emotional support and advice to help couples through this process. However, the cost of psychological counseling is not included in the medical expenses, and couples need to pay additional psychological counseling fees.
The cost of psychological counseling varies according to the qualification and region of the counselor, usually between hundreds and thousands of RMB. Couples need to choose the right psychological counselor according to their actual situation, and estimate the number and cost of consultation.
3. Drug expenses
During the treatment of third-generation IVF, some drugs may be needed to promote egg growth and control ovulation time. The price of these drugs is relatively high, and the dosage will also affect the cost.
When buying drugs, couples generally need to provide a prescription issued by a doctor. The specific drug type and dosage will be determined by professional doctors according to the actual situation of patients. Therefore, the cost of drugs will vary from individual to individual, and couples need to estimate and purchase according to the doctor's advice.
In addition to drug costs, it is also necessary to consider the storage and transportation costs of drugs. Some drugs need to be stored and transported at a specific temperature, which may increase some additional costs.
4. Follow up expenses
The third generation IVF is not only an operation, but also needs follow-up follow-up and treatment. These follow-up costs include pregnancy examination, support treatment after embryo transfer, pregnancy maintenance treatment, etc.
The cost of pregnancy examination varies according to specific hospitals and projects. Generally, it includes pregnancy consultation, ultrasonic examination, blood routine examination, etc. However, the support treatment and pregnancy maintenance treatment after embryo transfer may require special drugs and treatment devices, and the cost will increase accordingly.
Therefore, before the third generation IVF treatment, couples need to ensure that they have enough economic budget to cope with the subsequent costs.
summary
The cost calculation of the third generation IVF needs to consider many aspects such as medical expenses, psychological consultation expenses, drug expenses and follow-up expenses. The specific cost will vary depending on the region, hospital and individual. Couples need to consult professional doctors and psychological consultants in advance to understand all relevant costs and be prepared financially. At the same time, they also need to know their own medical insurance policies to facilitate the rational use of relevant medical resources.
