Price and cost of third generation IVF
In recent years, with the progress of science and technology and people's concern about fertility difficulties, the technology of three generations of IVF is gradually popularized worldwide. However, the price and cost of the third generation IVF is a concern for many families. This article will elaborate on the price and cost of the third generation IVF from four aspects.
medical expense
The third generation of IVF involves multiple stages of medical procedures, so many medical expenses are incurred. First, it is necessary to donate candidate eggs or embryos, which involves preliminary medical evaluation and screening, and costs about 20000 to 30000 yuan. Then there is the operation cost of egg collection and sperm sampling, which is about 30000 to 50000 yuan. Next is the operation cost of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, which is about 30000 to 60000 yuan. In the whole process of IVF, multiple examinations, nursing and drug treatment are required, and the cost is relatively low, about 5000 to 10000 yuan.
In addition to these basic medical expenses, there are also some additional expenses to be paid, such as hospitalization expenses, laboratory expenses, drug expenses, etc. These costs may vary according to different medical institutions and regions.
Assisted reproductive technology costs
In addition to medical expenses, some expenses for assisted reproductive technology should be paid for the third generation of IVF. For example, embryo gene screening needs to pay a certain fee, about 10000 to 20000 yuan. If you need to freeze embryos or eggs, you also need to pay freezing fees, about 2000 to 5000 yuan per year.
In addition, travel expenses, accommodation expenses and other factors need to be considered. Because not every place can carry out three generations of IVF, many families may need to go to other cities or countries for treatment, which requires paying corresponding transportation and accommodation fees.
Hospital expenses
Different hospitals and medical institutions have different prices for three generations of IVF. For example, the cost of the third generation IVF in Peking Union Medical College Hospital is between 280000 yuan and 350000 yuan, while the cost of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is between 240000 yuan and 300000 yuan. In foreign countries, the cost of the United States is usually high, about 100000 to 500000 dollars.
It should be noted that the third generation IVF generally does not include medical insurance coverage, so families need to pay most of the costs at their own expense. However, some hospitals offer the option of installment payment, which can reduce the family's economic pressure.
Follow up expenses
The third generation of IVF is not once and for all, and some follow-up costs need to be paid. For example, if the transplantation is successful, pregnant and prenatal examinations are also required, and these costs are about 5000 to 10000 yuan. If caesarean section or other special delivery methods are required, corresponding operation fees shall be paid. At the same time, babies may need additional medical expenses during their growth, such as paediatric clinic, vaccination, etc.
summary
To sum up, the prices and expenses of three generations of IVF mainly include medical expenses, assisted reproductive technology expenses, hospital expenses and follow-up expenses. Medical expenses cover medical procedures and nursing expenses at multiple stages. Assisted reproductive technology expenses include embryo gene screening and freezing expenses. Hospital expenses vary according to medical institutions and regions. Follow up expenses include pregnancy inspection and children's medical expenses.
