Price comparison of the third generation of IVF
In recent years, with the continuous development of science and technology, IVF technology has gradually matured and entered the third generation. Compared with the first generation and the second generation, the third generation IVF technology has significantly improved in operation process, success rate and cost. However, there are differences in prices among different hospitals. This article will make a detailed comparison of the prices of the third generation of IVF from four aspects: technology improvement, surgery costs, drug costs and follow-up treatment costs.
1、 Technical improvement
The first and second generation IVF technology has some limitations and defects, such as low embryo implantation rate and high risk of multiple pregnancy. The third generation IVF technology has greatly improved the implantation rate and success rate of embryos through low dose multi cycle insemination and embryo transfer. However, these technological improvements also mean higher costs. The average cost of the third generation IVF technology in a famous Grade III A hospital in Beijing is 300000 yuan.
On the other hand, in some popular hospitals, the price of the third generation technology may be relatively low. For example, the third generation IVF technology cost of a private hospital in Shanghai is about 200000 yuan. This is because the operation cost and management cost of private hospitals will be reduced compared with that of public hospitals.
In general, technical improvement is an important factor to improve the success rate of IVF, but it will also increase the cost of surgery.
2、 Operation expenses
IVF surgery is a complex operation, which requires doctors and technicians to carry out meticulous operation and monitoring. The operation cost is one of the most important costs in the whole process of IVF. Take Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in Beijing as an example. The cost of the third generation IVF surgery in this hospital is about 150000 yuan.
However, there may be some differences in the cost of surgery in different hospitals. For example, the cost of IVF surgery in a private hospital in Shanghai is about 100000 yuan. This is because the business model and operating costs of private hospitals are different from those of public hospitals, and some business models may be used to reduce costs.
To sum up, there are some differences in the cost of IVF surgery in different hospitals, and patients can choose a suitable hospital according to their own economic situation.
3、 Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, the use of drugs is inevitable, and the drug cost is also a part of the whole cost. The level of drug costs is related to the hospital's dispensing standards and drug use plans. The cost of IVF drugs in a famous hospital in Beijing is generally about 50000 yuan. The cost of IVF drugs in a private hospital in Shanghai is about 30000 yuan.
In order to improve the success rate, some hospitals may use some expensive drugs. For example, some ovulation promoting drugs are expensive, but can improve the quality and quantity of eggs, thus increasing the probability of pregnancy. Therefore, patients also need to know about the hospital's medication plan and cost when choosing hospitals.
4、 Follow up treatment costs
After successful IVF surgery, some follow-up treatment may be required to ensure the stability of pregnancy and the healthy development of the fetus. For example, prenatal examination during pregnancy, health care during pregnancy and treatment of possible complications. These follow-up treatment costs also need to be taken into account.
Generally, the cost of pregnancy management and follow-up treatment after IVF surgery in public hospitals is relatively low, such as about 40000 yuan. Some private hospitals may provide more comprehensive and personalized follow-up treatment services, so the cost may be relatively high, generally around 60000 yuan.
Summary
To sum up, there is a big difference in the price of the third generation of IVF. Technical improvement and operation cost are important factors to determine the price. Compared with public hospitals, the cost of IVF in private hospitals may be lower, but the related security and services may also be less. Drug costs and follow-up treatment costs also need to be taken into account throughout the process. When choosing a hospital, patients should consider their own economic capacity, the technical strength and service level of the hospital, as well as whether there is medical insurance and other factors, and finally make a reasonable decision.
