Composition of IVF expenses
Test tube baby means that couples who cannot conceive naturally get children through artificial assisted reproduction technology. The emergence of this technology has brought hope to many infertile couples. However, the cost of IVF has become a concern for many people. The cost of IVF includes medical expenses, IVF technical expenses, drug expenses and other possible additional expenses.
First of all, medical expenses are one of the most important parts of IVF expenses. The IVF procedure needs to be carried out in the hospital, and the medical expenses include ward fees, surgery fees, examination fees, etc. The cost standard of different hospitals may vary, and the cost may also vary due to different regions.
Secondly, IVF technical fees are also an important part of IVF fees. In vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and other technical operations are required in the process of IVF. These operations need doctors and technicians, and their professional skills and labor costs will also be included in IVF expenses.
In addition, drug costs are also an important part of IVF costs. In the process of IVF, the use of hormone drugs is essential. The price of these drugs is high, and the dosage and time of use will vary depending on individual conditions. Therefore, the cost of drugs will also vary from person to person.
Additional payment
In addition to the part mentioned above that directly constitutes the cost of IVF, there may be other additional expenses. Specifically, the extra payment may include treatment fee, frozen embryo fee, retained embryo fee, etc.
First of all, the treatment fee refers to the cost of each operation when multiple IVF operations are required in the IVF process. Because IVF is not a one-time success, it may require multiple attempts, and each attempt requires payment.
Secondly, frozen embryo fee refers to the preservation of successfully inseminated embryos for future embryo transfer. Some couples may choose to freeze and retain the surplus embryos, which requires additional costs.
In addition, the retention fee refers to the cost of retaining the placenta or embryo if the pregnancy is successful and the couple does not want to become pregnant again. This is an optional fee, which can be selected according to personal needs.
