How to calculate the medical expenses of IVF?
IVF refers to the use of assisted reproductive technology to culture the fertilized eggs in vitro to a certain degree of development, and then transplant them into the mother's womb to help infertile couples realize their dream of fertility. However, the medical cost of IVF is an important factor that many couples consider. So, how is the medical cost of IVF calculated? The following will be elaborated from four aspects.
Hospital treatment expenses
The medical expenses of IVF mainly include hospital treatment expenses and drug expenses. The cost of treatment varies from hospital to hospital. Generally speaking, the cost of large general hospitals is relatively high, while that of professional reproductive hospitals is relatively low. Hospital treatment costs generally include initial diagnosis costs, examination costs, surgery costs, etc. These costs will be different according to the hospital's pricing strategy.
Taking a Grade III A hospital in Beijing as an example, the cost of IVF treatment in this hospital is about 500 yuan for initial diagnosis, 20000 to 30000 yuan for each in vitro fertilization (IVF), and 10000 to 20000 yuan for each embryo transfer (ET). It should be noted that this is only a reference price, and the specific cost should be determined according to the actual situation.
Assisted reproductive technology costs
In IVF treatment, the commonly used assisted reproductive technologies include in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo transfer (ET) and frozen embryo preservation. These technologies need the support of professional equipment and materials, so corresponding costs will also be incurred.
Taking a reproductive hospital in Guangzhou as an example, the IVF cost of the hospital is 18000 yuan, the ET cost is 25000 yuan, and the frozen embryo preservation cost is 1000 yuan per year. The cost of assisted reproductive technology will vary depending on the technical strength and equipment conditions of different hospitals.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, some ovulation promoting drugs, luteinizing hormone and anticoagulants need to be used. The cost of these drugs is also part of the medical cost of IVF.
Taking a professional reproductive hospital in Shanghai as an example, the cost of ovulation promoting drugs is about 3000-6000 yuan, the cost of luteinizing hormone is 150 yuan per tube, and the cost of anticoagulant drugs is 500 yuan. The actual amount of drug costs will vary depending on the hospital's drug prices and the individual differences of patients.
Patient's personal information
The medical expenses of IVF will also be affected by the patient's personal conditions. Some patients may need to make multiple attempts to successfully conceive, and each attempt will incur a certain cost. Factors such as age, physical condition and the cause of infertility will also affect the cost.
To sum up, the medical expenses of IVF include hospital treatment expenses, assisted reproductive technology expenses, drug expenses and patients' personal conditions. The specific cost varies according to different hospitals and different patients. When deciding on IVF treatment, both husband and wife need to fully consider the economic situation and consult the doctor's advice.
Summary: The medical cost of IVF is composed of hospital treatment cost, assisted reproductive technology cost, drug cost, patient's personal condition and other factors. When choosing IVF treatment, both husband and wife should consider their own economic situation and consult and advise professional doctors. Only in this way can we reasonably plan the economy and better realize the desire to have children.
