How high is the cost of three generations of IVF?
With the continuous progress of medical technology, three generation IVF has become a choice for many infertile families to realize their reproductive dreams. However, for many people, the cost of third-generation IVF has always been a focus of attention. The following will elaborate on the cost of three generations of IVF from different perspectives.
medical expense
The medical cost of the third generation IVF is one of the main factors causing the high total cost. First, multiple assisted reproductive technology treatments are required, including ovulation induction, oocyte retrieval, embryo culture, embryo transfer and other processes. The cost of drugs, equipment and human resources required for these treatments is high, which will directly affect the increase of the total cost. Secondly, the test items and surgical operations involved in the third-generation IVF are more complex, requiring experienced doctors and high-level medical teams. Therefore, the total cost of surgery and medical service will also increase.
Taking a well-known Grade III A hospital in Beijing as an example, the medical expenses of third-generation IVF babies are about 150000 to 300000 yuan. This price mainly includes all drug fees, examination fees, operation fees and preliminary follow-up fees after surgery during the treatment process. However, it should be noted that this price is only a reference, and the cost of different hospitals may vary. In addition, there are some private medical institutions in other cities that provide relatively new technologies, which may cost more.
Assisted reproductive technology costs
In addition to medical expenses, the third generation IVF also needs assisted reproductive technology, such as egg retrieval, sperm preparation, etc. The cost of these technologies will vary according to different technologies and hospitals. Generally speaking, the cost of cultivating and transplanting an embryo once is between 20000 and 50000 yuan. If multiple attempts are needed to succeed, the cost will further increase. In addition, if the use of volunteer eggs or sperm is needed, the cost will also rise.
Drug expenses
Drug costs are also part of the cost of third-generation IVF. In the course of treatment, a series of ovulation promoting drugs, fetal protection drugs, regulating hormones and other drugs need to be used. The cost of these drugs is usually high, and the dosage and course of treatment used will directly affect the cost. Generally speaking, drug costs account for a large proportion of the total costs, which may account for more than one-third of the total costs.
other expenses
In addition to medical costs, assisted reproductive technology costs and drug costs, there are other costs that need to be considered. For example, a series of health tests, blood tests and genetic tests are required, and these costs will also be added to the total cost. In addition, since the success rate of the third generation IVF is not 100%, it may require multiple attempts, which will also increase the total cost.
summary
To sum up, the costs of three generations of IVF mainly include medical costs, assisted reproductive technology costs, drug costs and other costs. The medical cost is one of the main factors causing the high total cost, which involves multiple treatments and complex surgical operations. Assisted reproductive technology costs and drug costs are also an important part of the total costs, which will change due to technology and medication. Other costs depend on individual circumstances and needs. Therefore, families who want to carry out three generations of IVF need to fully consider the cost and make a comprehensive assessment when selecting hospitals and technologies.
