IVF expenses
Test tube baby is a professional assisted reproductive technology. For many infertile couples, it is a choice that hopes to realize their reproductive dreams. However, the cost of IVF has always been a concern of many families. The cost of IVF varies according to the specific conditions of hospitals, regions and patients. Next, we will introduce the cost of IVF in detail from several aspects.
Hospital expenses
IVF surgery usually needs to be carried out in professional reproductive hospitals, and the charging standards of each hospital are different. Take the Human Assisted Reproduction Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example. The IVF treatment projects of the center include female health examination, male sperm examination, in vitro fertilization treatment, embryo transfer and other projects. The charging standard of the hospital is 25000-30000 yuan per cycle (hereinafter referred to as yuan). The expenses include doctor's expenses, medicine expenses, equipment expenses, etc. Generally, a test tube baby treatment takes 2-3 cycles, so the cost of the whole treatment process is about 60000 to 90000 yuan.
In addition, the equipment and service quality of different hospitals will also affect the cost. Some high-end hospitals may provide more comfortable environment and personalized medical services, but the cost is relatively high.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF treatment, a series of drugs are needed to promote follicular development and control ovulation time. These drugs include ovulatory drugs, human chorionic gonadotropin (hMG) and pituitary gonadotropin (GnRH agonist). The cost depends on the required dose and course of treatment.
Generally speaking, the drug cost of IVF is about 5000-15000 yuan. It also needs to take into account the individual's physique and drug response. Some patients may need more drugs to improve the success rate of treatment.
Auxiliary technology cost
In addition to the cost of surgery and medicine, the cost of IVF also includes some auxiliary technology and examination costs. For example, anesthesia is required during egg retrieval, which will increase the operation cost; Frozen embryos require additional costs for safekeeping and preservation; Some special circumstances may require embryo gene testing, and these costs need to be paid additionally.
The cost of auxiliary technology varies from several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan according to the actual situation.
favoured policy
In order to help more infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams, some hospitals and social institutions have introduced some preferential policies for IVF fees. For example, some hospitals will offer preferential discounts on specific dates or treatments; Some regions will give IVF treatment subsidies according to the family's economic situation.
In addition, some medical institutions have also cooperated with insurance companies to introduce medical insurance for IVF, providing certain cost subsidies for patients. These preferential policies can reduce the economic burden of patients to a certain extent.
To sum up, the cost of IVF varies with hospitals, regions and patients. The expenses mainly include hospital expenses, drug expenses and auxiliary technology expenses. In addition, some preferential policies can also help patients reduce their financial burden. When choosing IVF treatment, patients should consider various factors comprehensively according to their own conditions to make a wise decision.
