There are many well-known reproductive hospitals in Shanghai, such as Shanghai Ren'ai Hospital and Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, which have strong technical strength and rich clinical experience in related fields.

There are various treatment schemes for IVF, and doctors may give different suggestions according to different situations and needs. There will be some differences in the corresponding costs of different treatment schemes.

In addition, IVF babies also need to use some drugs, such as ovulation promoting drugs, luteinizing hormone, etc. These drugs will also increase the cost of treatment.
In general, the cost of assistive technology and drugs will have a certain impact on the cost of IVF, which needs to be understood and planned in advance.
4. Insurance reimbursement and medical subsidy
