How to calculate the cost of the third generation of IVF?
IVF means that couples who cannot conceive naturally have children successfully through IVF technology. After continuous innovation and development, IVF technology has entered the third generation stage. The third generation IVF technology, including embryo screening, gene editing and other new technologies, has further improved the success rate of IVF. However, with the development of technology, the cost of IVF has increased accordingly.
Hospital expenses
First of all, the most important part of the cost calculation of IVF is the cost of hospitals. The cost of different hospitals may vary, which mainly depends on the size, equipment, technical level and other factors of the hospital. Generally speaking, the cost of large public hospitals is relatively low, while the cost of private hospitals is high. Taking a well-known public hospital in Beijing as an example, the cost of the third generation IVF is about 200000 to 300000 yuan.
Secondly, IVF needs to carry out multiple assisted reproductive technology operations, and each operation needs to pay a certain fee. These expenses include fees for egg retrieval, semen treatment, embryo transfer, etc. During the whole process, 2-3 embryo transfers are generally required, and the cost for each transfer is about RMB 10000 to RMB 20000.
In addition, some auxiliary technologies may be required during IVF, such as embryo screening, gene editing, etc. These technologies may require additional costs, which depend on the complexity of different technologies and the pricing of hospitals.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, a large number of drugs are needed to promote ovulation and control the menstrual cycle. The cost of these drugs is also part of the cost of IVF. The drug cost depends on the individual's specific situation and treatment plan. Generally speaking, the drug cost can account for about 30% of the total cost of IVF.
The difference in drug costs is mainly reflected in the type and dosage of drugs used. Some drugs are expensive and require more doses. Therefore, it is very important to choose the appropriate treatment scheme and drug combination to control the cost of IVF.
In addition, drug costs are also affected by market supply and demand. Sometimes due to insufficient supply or fluctuating drug prices, drug costs may fluctuate.
Inspection expenses
The cost of IVF also includes multiple examinations. The examination cost mainly refers to the examination before embryo transfer, fetal monitoring and other related examinations. The cost of these inspections depends on the inspection items.
Generally speaking, IVF requires multiple ultrasonic monitoring to ensure the development of the embryo. The cost of each monitoring varies from hundreds to thousands of yuan. In addition, some special tests, such as hormone testing, will be required, and the cost will also increase.
other expenses
In addition to hospital costs, drug costs and examination costs, IVF costs may also include other costs. For example, the patient may need to be hospitalized during IVF, and the hospitalization cost will become a part of the cost. In addition, some special treatment or surgery may be required, and these costs should also be included in the total cost.
Finally, IVF babies need multiple follow-up visits. The cost of these follow-up visits is also one of the costs of IVF.
summary
The cost calculation of the third generation of IVF involves hospital costs, drug costs, examination costs and other costs. Hospital expenses are the most important part, and drug expenses and examination expenses are also important factors affecting the total expenses. Other costs vary according to individual circumstances and treatment plans. Therefore, it is necessary to know the composition and calculation method of costs in advance for IVF in order to make economic preparations.
