How to calculate the cost of IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological factors to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, the cost of IVF varies according to hospitals, regions, treatment methods and personal circumstances. The following details how to calculate the cost of IVF from four aspects: hospital selection, cost composition, testing items and failure retry.
Hospital selection
The cost of IVF is mainly related to the selected hospital. Generally speaking, the top three hospitals with high popularity and advanced technology will be relatively more expensive, while some local hospitals will be relatively cheaper. For example, the cost of IVF in a key hospital is about 300000 yuan, while that in some provincial hospitals is only about 200000 yuan. In addition, in private hospitals with high international reputation, the cost may be higher.
In addition to the popularity of the hospital, the area where the hospital is located will also affect the cost. Generally speaking, medical expenses in first tier cities are high, and IVF in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities may be more expensive. In the second or third tier cities, the cost will be relatively lower.
Cost composition
The cost of IVF includes many aspects. First, medical expenses, including consultation fees, examination fees, surgery fees, hospitalization fees, etc. In addition, drug costs are also a part of it. IVF needs to use many drugs to assist treatment and promote ovulation. In addition, some special inspection items, such as genetic testing, embryo chromosome testing, will also increase costs.
In addition to medical expenses and drug expenses, there are other expenses to consider. For example, if IVF needs to be realized in a way, the cost will be an important expense. There are also some unexpected costs, such as retry costs after failed surgery, additional embryo freezing costs, etc., which need to be paid according to personal circumstances.
Test items
The cost of IVF is also related to the selected test items. Generally speaking, people will choose to carry out genetic testing, embryonic chromosome testing, etc. to increase the health and success rate of infants. These testing items require additional costs, generally between 5000 yuan and 10000 yuan. If more testing items are needed, such as PGD, the cost will be further increased.
Failed Retry
IVF does not always succeed at once, so the cost of retry after failure should also be considered. Generally speaking, if the first attempt fails, the doctor will ask whether to try again according to the situation. This is an individual decision, and the cost will increase accordingly. The fees for the second and subsequent retries are generally preferential, but they also need to be determined according to personal conditions and doctor's opinions.
summary
In general, there are some differences in the cost of IVF, which needs to be determined according to personal conditions and the choice of hospitals. Generally speaking, the cost is mainly composed of medical expenses, drug expenses, testing items and failure retries. In addition, the popularity of the hospital, the region and the selected testing items will also affect the cost. Therefore, when choosing IVF, we should make reasonable decisions according to our own actual situation and economic ability.
