How about the cost of IVF abroad
With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, IVF has become a choice for many infertile families to pursue fertility. Because of the high cost of IVF in China, many people began to pay attention to the cost of IVF abroad. The costs of foreign IVF will be described in detail from four aspects below.
medical expense
When foreign medical institutions provide IVF services, they often charge a certain medical fee. These fees include: initial diagnosis fee, fallopian tube radiography fee, menstruation tracking fee, ovulation monitoring fee, ovulation promoting agent fee, ovum retrieval operation fee, in vitro fertilization fee, embryo freezing fee, embryo transfer fee, etc. The charging standards vary from country to country and from hospital to hospital, and the level of fees is generally related to the equipment and technical level of hospitals. Some internationally renowned IVF hospitals, such as The Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine in the United States and Bourn Hall in the United Kingdom, are relatively expensive.
Take the American Institute of Reproductive Medicine for example, the initial diagnosis fee is generally 300 dollars, the operation fee for egg retrieval is about 3000-5000 dollars, and the embryo transfer fee is 2500-3500 dollars. These are only part of the costs. In fact, there are other items in the whole IVF process.
Drug expenses
Ovulation promoting drugs and adjuvant therapy drugs are often used in IVF. These drug costs also form part of the total cost of IVF. The cost of drugs depends on the type, dosage and use period of drugs. Generally, the cost of drugs in the United States is higher, but it is relatively cheaper in Europe and some Asian countries.
In the United States, commonly used ovulation promoting drugs, such as Gonal-F and Menopur, cost about $200-300 per day. In Blackpool, the cost of ovulation promoting drugs is relatively cheap, about 80-120 pounds per day.
Operation expenses
In the process of IVF, some special cases may require surgical treatment. The operation cost is also one of the important factors affecting the total cost of IVF. For example, if women need to undergo tubal repair surgery, myomectomy, etc., they need to pay extra for the surgery.
The specific amount of the operation cost is related to the complexity of the operation, the country where the operation is located, the level of the hospital and other factors. Therefore, when selecting IVF hospitals, in addition to considering the technical level and success rate of the hospital, it is also necessary to understand the hospital's operating costs.
Additional charges
In addition to the medical, drug and surgical expenses mentioned above, some additional expenses should also be taken into consideration. For example, hospitalization fees, anesthesia fees, testing fees, embryo freezing fees, etc. may increase the total cost of IVF.
In general, the cost of IVF in foreign countries varies due to various factors, and the specific cost needs to be judged according to the individual situation and the selected hospital. When choosing a foreign IVF hospital, in addition to the cost, we should also consider the hospital's reputation, success rate, service quality and other factors, and choose a suitable hospital.
Summary
The cost of IVF abroad mainly includes medical expenses, drug expenses, surgery expenses and additional expenses. The charging standards of different countries and hospitals are different. The cost of the United States is relatively high, while some European and Asian countries are relatively cheap. In addition to the cost, we should also consider the technical level, success rate, service quality and other factors of the hospital, and choose a suitable hospital.
