For example, in a high-end private hospital in a well-known city, the total medical cost of IVF is about 200000 yuan, including various examination costs, surgery costs and auxiliary drug costs. In some public hospitals, the cost may be relatively low, about 100000 yuan.

In relatively small cities, IVF costs may be relatively low. Therefore, for qualified couples, they can choose appropriate hospitals for treatment according to their economic situation and personal needs.
Finally, IVF hospital expenses may also include other expenses, such as fallopian tube radiography expenses, embryo transfer expenses, etc. These expenses shall be determined according to the actual situation, and the doctor or person in charge of the hospital can be consulted for details.
Inspection expenses
In the IVF procedure, various examinations are indispensable. Prospective parents need to carry out a series of examinations to assess their health, eliminate potential risks and ensure the smooth progress of IVF. These examination fees are usually not included in the hospital fees and need to be paid additionally.

It should be noted that the cost of examination may vary depending on the individual's physical condition.
In addition, each examination may involve multiple trips to and from hospitals or clinics, and these transportation costs should also be considered. Therefore, in the planning of IVF, in addition to hospital costs, it is also necessary to consider the cost of inspection and related transportation costs.
Operation expenses
IVF surgery is a key step to achieve pregnancy, and the cost of surgery also accounts for a part of the entire cost. The operation costs mainly include egg collection, sperm collection and embryo transfer. The specific costs vary according to different hospitals and doctors.

These fees are for reference only, and the actual fees should be determined according to the pricing of hospitals and doctors.

Auxiliary drug expenses
