About the cost of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who are difficult to conceive naturally or cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. However, the cost of IVF is a concern for many couples. This article will discuss the cost of IVF in detail from four aspects: hospital selection, specific cost composition, additional costs and national policies.
Hospital selection
The cost of IVF is closely related to the selected hospital. There are some well-known professional hospitals nationwide, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. These hospitals have advanced equipment and skilled technology, but the corresponding costs will also be high. Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the cost of IVF is about 300000 yuan.
Relatively speaking, some top three hospitals or top two hospitals in some places can also provide better IVF services at relatively low prices. When choosing hospitals, couples can weigh their own economic strength and needs. However, it should be noted that when choosing hospitals, we should not only look at the cost, but also pay attention to the technical level and professional experience of hospitals.
Specific cost composition
The cost of IVF mainly includes the following aspects:
First, the basic operation cost, including gynecological examination, male semen examination, assisted reproductive technology operation, etc., is about 50000 yuan.
The second is drug costs, which may amount to about 20000 yuan when various ovulation promoting drugs and fetal protection drugs are used in the IVF process.
In addition, the examination cost is also a part of the cost of IVF. Common examinations include endocrine examination, gynecological examination, male infertility examination, etc., which is about 10000 yuan.
additional costs
In addition to the above basic costs, there are some additional costs to consider.
For example, if embryo genetic examination or gene testing is required in the process of IVF, the cost will further increase. The cost of these additional inspections may be more than 10000 yuan.
In addition, some couples may need to try many times to get pregnant successfully, so the cost of re operation needs to be considered. The cost of each attempt is equivalent to the basic cost mentioned above, so additional funds may be required.
national policy
The cost of IVF is also affected by national policies.
In 2016, China promulgated the Administrative Measures for Human Assisted Reproduction Technology, which clearly stipulated that the price of IVF technology should be determined by each region without a ceiling. Therefore, there are some differences in the cost of IVF in different regions. Some places implement government subsidy policies for IVF, which can reduce the economic pressure of patients.
In general, the cost of IVF is relatively high, and many couples need to make financial preparations in advance. It is necessary for couples to choose appropriate hospitals, understand the specific cost composition, consider additional costs and pay attention to national policies. Despite the high cost, IVF technology provides a promising way for infertile couples and is worth a try.
Summary
This article elaborates on the cost of IVF from the aspects of hospital selection, specific cost composition, additional costs and national policies. According to different choices of hospitals, the cost of IVF may be about 300000 yuan. The specific costs mainly include basic operation costs, drug costs and examination costs. In addition to the basic costs, there are some additional costs to consider, such as the costs of embryonic genetic examination and multiple trials. National policies also have some impact on IVF costs. Although the cost of IVF is high, it provides a way of hope for infertile couples.
