How much is the cost of IVF?
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for some infertile couples. This technology is very complex and expensive. This article will elaborate on the costs of IVF from four aspects: hospital costs, drug costs, auxiliary technology costs and follow-up care costs.
Hospital expenses
IVF needs to be carried out in professional hospitals, and many public and private hospitals nationwide provide this technology. The cost of public hospitals is relatively low, usually between 20000 yuan and 50000 yuan. The cost of private hospitals is relatively high, generally between 50000 yuan and 100000 yuan. These expenses mainly include examination expenses, operation expenses and hospitalization expenses.
For example, the cost of IVF in a famous public hospital in Beijing is about 30000 yuan, including basic examination costs and surgery costs. The cost of a well-known private hospital in Shanghai is about 80000 yuan, including more comprehensive examination costs and surgery costs.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, some drugs need to be used to help women ovulate and improve the probability of pregnancy. The cost of these drugs is relatively high, generally between 10000 yuan and 30000 yuan. The specific cost depends on the type of medicine prescribed by the doctor and the dosage used.
Taking a private hospital in Guangzhou as an example, the cost of ovulation guidance and related drugs is about 10000 yuan, and the cost of ovulation promoting drugs and hormone drugs is about 20000 yuan.
Auxiliary technology cost
In addition to hospital and drug costs, IVF also needs to use some assistive technologies. For example, technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer require additional costs. The cost of these assistive technologies will also vary from hospital to hospital and from region to region.
In a public hospital in Beijing, the cost of IVF is about 20000 yuan, and the cost of embryo transfer is about 10000 yuan. In a private hospital in Shanghai, the cost of IVF is about 30000 yuan, and the cost of embryo transfer is about 20000 yuan.
Follow up care costs
After the success of IVF, follow-up care is needed for a period of time. This includes expenses for pregnancy monitoring, prenatal examination, delivery and post natal care. These costs vary from person to person and from hospital to hospital and region to region.
Taking a public hospital in Chengdu as an example, the cost of pregnancy monitoring is about 5000 yuan, the cost of prenatal examination is about 8000 yuan, and the cost of delivery and postpartum care is about 10000 yuan.
To sum up, the costs of IVF include hospital costs, drug costs, auxiliary technology costs and follow-up care costs. In general, the total cost is between 100000 yuan and 300000 yuan in China. In addition, the cost varies due to the geographical location, reputation, equipment and other factors of the hospital. When choosing a hospital, couples should carefully weigh the cost and technical level and make rational decisions.
