Does IVF fee include follow-up maintenance?
IVF is an artificial pregnancy realized by assisted reproductive technology, which is an important choice for some infertile couples. However, in addition to surgery and medical costs, many people are concerned about whether the follow-up maintenance costs of IVF are included in the overall project costs. This article will discuss the cost of IVF in detail from four aspects: hospital costs, drug costs, infant care costs and infant education costs.
Hospital expenses
IVF surgery is a highly complex medical technology, and the operation cost is usually included in the whole project cost. Hospital expenses include operating room use fees, salaries of doctors and nurses, hospitalization expenses, monitoring equipment and other expenses. The hospital will formulate corresponding charging standards according to different items and conditions. In some private hospitals, hospital fees may include a certain period of baby care.
However, it should be noted that if a baby needs to be hospitalized for a long time or special treatment, these additional costs are often not included in the project costs and need to be borne by parents. Therefore, when choosing a hospital, parents need to know whether the project costs include follow-up maintenance costs, and communicate and confirm with the hospital.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, a large number of drugs need to be used to regulate and promote ovulation. Drug costs are an important part of IVF. In some hospitals, drug costs may be included in the project costs, while in other hospitals, additional payment is required. Generally speaking, the cost of drugs is high, because the amount and type of drugs used may vary according to individual conditions.
In addition, some drugs may need to be used for a long time. Even after the operation, the wife needs to continue taking drugs to maintain pregnancy stability. The drug cost during these follow-up maintenance periods is usually not included in the project cost, which requires additional burden from parents.
Infant care costs
After the IVF operation is successful, the monitoring of the newborn is also indispensable. This includes neonatal examination, vaccination, feeding and daily care. In some private hospitals, infant care costs may be included in the project costs, that is, within a certain period of time, the hospital will provide inspection and care for infants.
However, long-term custody and care is an additional burden for parents. In the future, for example, vaccination and routine physical examination, these costs are usually not included in the project costs, which need to be borne by parents themselves. Therefore, before accepting IVF surgery, parents should consult and understand with the hospital in detail to clarify the connotation of the project costs and the specific costs of subsequent maintenance.
Infant education expenses
After the IVF operation is successful, the education of the baby is also a part that parents need to consider. Whether it is a public school or a private school, education requires expenditure. The cost of IVF education is not much different from other babies.
Therefore, parents of IVF babies need to make education plans in advance, and prepare for the educational expenses of babies according to different educational resources and needs. In this regard, IVF is not very different from naturally pregnant infants.
Summary
To sum up, the IVF project costs generally include hospital costs and some infant monitoring costs, but do not include drug costs and long-term monitoring costs. In addition, the education cost of IVF is not much different from that of other infants. Therefore, for couples considering IVF, in addition to paying attention to the cost of the operation itself, they also need to fully understand and prepare for the subsequent maintenance costs to ensure that they can give adequate care and care to the baby.
