How to calculate the domestic cost of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who are not easy to conceive realize their reproductive dreams. However, due to complex technology and different medical resources, the cost of IVF may vary in different hospitals and regions. This article will elaborate on the cost of IVF in China from four aspects: hospital cost, auxiliary technology cost, drug cost and other costs.
Hospital expenses
Hospital expense is one of the most important expenses in IVF process. The cost standard of different hospitals will be different. Generally speaking, the cost of high reputation hospitals will be higher. Taking a Grade III A hospital in Beijing as an example, the cost of IVF in this hospital is about 30000 to 50000 yuan, including initial diagnosis cost, surgery cost, hospitalization cost, etc. In some areas, the cost of the second tier hospitals may be about 10000 to 20000 yuan. In addition, the type of operation and doctor's experience will also affect the cost.
With the increasing demand of patients for IVF in recent years, some private hospitals have also started to provide IVF services. These hospitals are often more expensive and may cost more than 100000 yuan. It should be noted that when selecting private hospitals, in addition to the cost, the medical level of hospitals and the degree of care for patients should also be considered.
In addition, in the process of IVF, some accidents may be involved, such as complications, which requires additional payment for hospital treatment. Therefore, when choosing a hospital, we should not only pay attention to the basic cost of IVF, but also understand the follow-up services and patient security of the hospital.
Auxiliary technology cost
In the process of IVF, some assistive technologies need to be used, and the use of these technologies will incur additional costs. One of the most important technologies is in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF technology is to combine mature eggs and sperm in a culture dish, and then put the fertilized embryos into the patient's uterus. The cost of IVF technology is generally between RMB120000 and RMB10000.
If patients need to use or donate sperm and other auxiliary technologies, the cost will further increase. For example, the cost of using technology is generally between 30000 yuan and 50000 yuan. For sperm donation technology, the cost may be relatively low, generally between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan.
In addition, some hospitals also provide PGD (embryonic genetic diagnosis) technology, which can screen embryos with chromosomal abnormalities or genetic diseases to increase the success rate and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy. The cost of PGD technology is generally between RMB130000 and RMB10000.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, some ovulation promoting drugs and hormone drugs need to be used, and the cost of these drugs is also part of the cost of IVF. These include ovulation promoting drugs, auxiliary drugs to increase the number and quality of eggs, progesterone and estrogen. According to individual physique and course of treatment, the cost of drugs will vary, generally between RMB120000 and RMB10000.
The cost of drugs is also affected by factors such as the brand of the preparation and the dosage used. Some brands of drugs are relatively expensive, and the larger the dose used, the higher the cost. In addition, the selling price of drugs in different hospitals and pharmacies will also be different. Therefore, when choosing hospitals and purchasing drugs, we recommend that patients consult their doctors in advance to find out what drugs they need to use, and choose experienced hospitals and reputable pharmacies.
other expenses
In addition to the above costs, there may be other costs involved in IVF. For example, patients may need multiple examinations, ultrasonic monitoring or laparoscopic surgery, which will incur additional costs. In addition, IVF may need to be assisted for a long period of hospital treatment, and corresponding hospital expenses need to be paid. The specific costs vary depending on the needs of patients and hospital policies. It is recommended that patients ask in detail before choosing hospitals to avoid disputes over costs.
To sum up, the domestic costs of IVF mainly include hospital costs, auxiliary technology costs, drug costs and other costs. When choosing hospitals and treatment plans, patients should not only focus on the cost, but also understand the professional level of the hospital, doctors' experience and patient security. Only when we fully understand and do a good job in the relevant budget and preparation, can we better complete the treatment of IVF and achieve fertility aspirations.
