1、 Basic cost of IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which usually involves multiple links and projects, so the cost is relatively high. The basic cost of IVF includes the following four aspects:
1. Initial diagnosis cost: The initial diagnosis is the first step to carry out IVF, which usually requires the registration of experts sent by the hospital. The doctor will carry out relevant examinations, including the inquiry of patients' physical conditions, medical records, and analysis of the causes of current fertility disorders. This cost is usually between 500 and 1000 yuan.
2. Cost of IVF program: doctors will develop a personalized IVF program based on the specific conditions of patients, which includes medical testing, egg retrieval, gamete and embryo culture. The cost will vary according to the patient's condition, usually between RMB 20000 and RMB 20000.
3. Expense of embryo transfer: If normal embryos are obtained after culture and testing, doctors will perform embryo transfer operations. This cost is usually between 20000 and 30000 yuan, including the operation cost and the doctor team cost.
4. Follow up drug costs: In the process of IVF, patients need to use a series of drugs to promote follicular development and fixation after embryo transfer. The cost is determined according to the patient's personal conditions, usually around RMB 10000 to 20000.
2、 Other expenses
In addition to the above basic costs, other costs may be incurred during IVF, as shown below:
1. Frozen embryo cost: If multiple normal embryos are obtained during IVF, but no immediate transfer is required, patients can choose to freeze them for future use. The cost is usually about 2000-3000 yuan per year, which varies according to the length of freezing time.
2. Try again after treatment failure: IVF is not a successful technology, and it needs to be tried many times according to the specific situation of the patient. If the patient needs to try again after a failed attempt, the cost is usually between 20000 yuan and 30000 yuan.
3. Psychological counseling costs: In the process of IVF, patients and their families may face psychological pressure and distress. At this time, it is necessary to seek professional psychological guidance and help. The cost is usually between 500-2000 yuan, depending on the situation.
3、 Influence of hospital selection on cost
As a developed area, Shenzhen has many first-class IVF hospitals. Different hospitals may have different costs. Generally speaking, the price of well-known large tertiary hospitals in China is relatively high, while the price of private hospitals or some specialized hospitals may be relatively low.
In addition, different hospitals have different equipment, technology and team, which has a greater impact on the cost of patients. Therefore, when choosing a hospital, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the medical level, cost and personal actual situation, and choose a suitable hospital.
4、 How to pay
There are several ways to pay for IVF:
1. Pay at one's own expense: patients can choose to pay at their own expense in full, which can save time waiting for medical insurance reimbursement, but the cost is high.
2. Medical insurance reimbursement: some IVF expenses can be included in the medical insurance reimbursement scope, and patients can reduce their burden through medical insurance reimbursement.
3. Commercial medical insurance: some commercial insurance companies provide insurance products for IVF costs, and patients can buy insurance to share the costs.
Summary:
To sum up, the costs of Shenzhen IVF mainly include the costs of initial diagnosis, IVF scheme, embryo transfer and follow-up medicine. In addition, there may be other costs, such as frozen embryos costs, re try costs and psychological counseling costs. The choice of different hospitals and the way of payment will also have an impact on the cost. Therefore, before IVF, patients need to understand the specific costs and choose their own hospitals and payment methods.
