For IVF, the procedure for invoicing expenses is basically the same as other medical items. After paying the expenses, patients can ask the financial department of the hospital for expense invoices, and then apply for reimbursement in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. Therefore, invoices are required for both self expense and medical insurance reimbursement.
Hospital invoicing policy
Each hospital may have different invoicing policies, including invoicing of IVF expenses. Generally speaking, most formal hospitals will provide expense invoices to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of patients. When choosing IVF hospitals, patients can know the hospital's invoice issuing policy in advance so as to make relevant preparations.

Patients can go through the invoicing procedures in the financial department of the hospital with relevant vouchers. Therefore, IVF expenses can be invoiced according to hospital policies.
