How much is the reasonable cost of IVF in Shanghai
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who experience fertility disorders achieve their fertility aspirations through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. As one of the most developed cities in China, Shanghai has many professional IVF hospitals, and the cost level varies from hospital to hospital. The following details the cost of IVF in Shanghai from several aspects.
Hospital level and expenses
Shanghai's IVF hospitals include large general hospitals and professional reproductive centers. Large general hospitals, such as Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University and Shanghai First Maternal and Infant Health Hospital, usually have comprehensive gynecology and obstetrics departments and reproductive centers, which are relatively expensive. Specialized reproductive centers, such as the Reproductive Center of Shanghai Family Planning Research Institute and Shanghai Shenke Reproductive Medicine Center, focus on reproductive medicine with relatively low costs. When choosing a hospital, it should be considered comprehensively according to personal needs and economic conditions.
The cost of IVF in large general hospitals is generally between 30000 yuan and 60000 yuan, including the whole IVF treatment cost. The cost of professional reproduction centers is usually between 15000 yuan and 30000 yuan, which includes in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and other basic steps.
Auxiliary treatment expenses
In the process of IVF treatment, some auxiliary treatments may be needed, such as ultrasonic monitoring, drug treatment, etc. These adjuvant treatments will increase the total cost of treatment.
Ultrasonic monitoring is an indispensable test in IVF treatment, which is used to monitor the development of follicles. The cost of each ultrasonic monitoring is about 200 yuan to 500 yuan, depending on the hospital.
Drug cost is an important part of IVF treatment, which is used to regulate female ovulation and promote embryo implantation. According to individual differences and different treatment plans, drug costs may range from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.
Laboratory expenses
The success of IVF depends largely on laboratory technology and equipment. Laboratory costs are usually included in IVF treatment costs, but the equipment level and technical level of different hospitals will also affect the costs.
High quality laboratory equipment can improve the success rate of fertilization and embryo culture, but it will also increase laboratory costs. Some high-end reproductive medical centers usually invest more money and resources to improve laboratory quality, so the cost is relatively high.
Additional charges
In addition to treatment costs and ancillary costs, some additional costs need to be considered. For example, case management fee, operation fee, embryo freezing fee, etc.
The case management fee generally ranges from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, including doctors' consultation and medical record management fees. The operation cost is generally between several thousand yuan and ten thousand yuan, which is used for in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and other operations. The cost of embryo freezing usually ranges from several hundred yuan to one thousand yuan per year.
summary
In general, the cost of IVF in Shanghai is relatively high, but there are also some professional reproductive centers with relatively low prices to choose from. When selecting hospitals, we should consider the level of hospitals, auxiliary treatment costs, laboratory equipment and additional costs in combination with personal needs and economic conditions. I hope this article will help you understand how much IVF costs are reasonable in Shanghai.
