Is it expensive to do IVF in Shanghai?

Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in infertile patients. As one of the most developed cities in China, Shanghai has many well-known medical institutions and professional reproductive hospitals. However, many people are concerned about the high cost of IVF in Shanghai? This problem is described in detail from several aspects below.

medical expense

First of all, the medical expenses of IVF include several links, such as initial examination, IVF operation, pregnancy monitoring, etc. In Shanghai, many public medical institutions and private reproductive hospitals provide IVF services, with different costs. Generally speaking, the cost of public medical institutions is relatively low, while the cost of private reproductive hospitals is relatively high. For example, the cost of IVF in Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is more affordable, while the cost of IVF in Shanghai Oxford Hospital is higher.

In addition, the cost of IVF is also related to the patient's own situation. If it is a conventional IVF operation, the cost is relatively low. However, if special technology or treatment is required, such as embryo chromosome screening, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, etc., the cost will increase accordingly.

To sum up, the medical expenses for IVF in Shanghai vary from hospital to hospital and from patient to patient, but on the whole, they are relatively high.

Drug expenses

IVF needs to use a lot of reproductive drugs to promote ovarian ovulation and follicular development. These drugs will increase the cost of IVF to some extent. The brand, type and dosage of different drugs will affect the cost.

In Shanghai, some large hospitals have their own medical departments, which can provide more affordable reproductive drugs. However, some private reproductive hospitals require patients to purchase drugs separately, and the cost is relatively high. Therefore, when choosing hospitals, patients need to consider the factors of drug costs.

Auxiliary service fee

In addition to medical and drug costs, IVF also needs some auxiliary services, such as embryo freezing, embryo implantation, pregnancy monitoring, etc. These services generally require additional payment.

It is worth mentioning that in order to improve the success rate, some reproductive hospitals may recommend patients to perform multiple IVF procedures, which will increase the overall cost. Therefore, when deciding to perform IVF surgery, patients need to consider the cost of ancillary services comprehensively.

Summary

Considering the above aspects, the cost of IVF in Shanghai is relatively high. When choosing hospitals, patients should not only consider medical strength and professional level, but also fully understand the cost of medical care, drugs and ancillary services to make reasonable decisions. At the same time, patients can reduce their economic burden and improve their chances of success in childbirth through medical insurance, commercial insurance and other means.
