How much is the treatment fee of IVF?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which enables couples who are difficult to conceive naturally to have the opportunity to realize their dreams of childbirth. However, the cost of IVF treatment is often a concern. This article will elaborate on the cost of IVF treatment from the aspects of medical institutions, treatment procedures, drug costs and other costs.
medical institution
The cost of IVF treatment is affected by the choice of medical institutions and geographical location. Some public hospitals provide IVF treatment at a relatively low cost, usually around 20000 yuan. Private hospitals have higher costs, generally more than 80000 yuan. In addition, the cost of well-known hospitals may be higher, because doctors have rich experience and advanced equipment.
For example, a well-known public hospital in Beijing spent 25000 yuan on IVF, while a private hospital in Shanghai spent 100000 yuan. Therefore, the choice of medical institutions is also an important factor in determining the cost.
Treatment procedure
The IVF treatment course usually includes ovulation guidance, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer and other steps. These steps need professional doctors and equipment, and the costs are different.
First, ovulation guides help women ovulate successfully through drugs, and the drug cost is about 3000-8000 yuan. Then, egg retrieval is a minimally invasive procedure, and the cost is between 5000 and 10000 yuan. Fertilization is usually divided into in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, and the cost is about 5000-10000 yuan. Finally, embryo transfer needs to implant the fertilized eggs into the female uterus, and the cost is about 3000-5000 yuan.
In general, the cost of treatment steps is between 20000 and 30000 yuan.
Drug expenses
The use of drugs in IVF is inevitable. Drug costs account for a large proportion in the whole course of treatment.
Commonly used drugs include ovulation promoting drugs, gonadotropins and progesterone. The cost of ovulation promoting drugs is about 2000-5000 yuan, the cost of gonadotropin is about 4000-10000 yuan, and the cost of progesterone is about 500-1000 yuan.
Generally speaking, the cost of drugs is usually between RMB120000 and RMB10000.
other expenses
In addition to the costs of medical institutions, treatment procedures and drug costs, there are some other costs in IVF treatment.
For example, multiple ultrasonic examinations and blood tests may be required during the course of treatment, and the cost per time is between RMB 1000-2000. In addition, several postoperative follow-up visits also cost about 500-1000 yuan each time.
In addition, if embryos need to be frozen and preserved, the annual cost is about 2000-5000 yuan.
Summary
The cost of IVF treatment includes the selection of medical institutions, treatment steps, drug costs and other costs. According to different medical institutions and geographical locations, the cost varies greatly. The ovulation guidance, egg retrieval, fertilization and embryo transfer in the course of treatment all need expenses. The cost of drugs is usually between RMB120000 and RMB10000. In addition, other costs such as ultrasound examination, blood test, postoperative follow-up and embryo preservation should also be considered. Therefore, couples should fully understand the cost of IVF treatment and be prepared financially.
