What is the cost range of IVF?
IVF is a method to help couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve fertility through in vitro fertilization. As a relatively expensive medical technology, the cost of IVF varies with hospitals, regions, treatment methods and other factors. This article will elaborate on the cost range of IVF from four aspects: hospital selection, treatment scheme, auxiliary technology and drug cost.
Hospital selection
IVF surgery needs to be carried out in a regular hospital, and the cost of different hospitals will vary. Taking China as an example, some well-known top three hospitals in China, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, have rich experience and technology in the field of IVF, but their charges are relatively high, with an estimated cost of more than 100000 yuan.
In addition, some private medical institutions also provide IVF services, such as California Reproduction and Science Center in the United States, Bangkok International Reproductive Technology Center in Thailand, etc. These internationally renowned institutions have advanced equipment and first-class expert teams in the field of IVF, but the cost is relatively high, and the average cost is expected to be more than 150000 yuan.
In general, the selection of hospitals determines the cost range of IVF. In the selection of domestic hospitals, the cost is about 100000 yuan to 150000 yuan.
Treatment plan
There are various therapeutic schemes for IVF, and individualized schemes will affect the difference in costs. Generally speaking, the common treatment schemes include in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), compliance device (IUI), etc.
IVF-ET is the most commonly used treatment scheme at present, and its cost includes multiple steps, such as egg retrieval, sperm treatment, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. The cost of an IVF-ET is usually between 80000 yuan and 100000 yuan.
In addition, some couples may need to carry out IVF several times to increase the success rate. The cost of each cycle usually has a certain discount, but the cumulative cost of repeated attempts can not be ignored, and the average annual cost may be more than 200000 yuan.
Therefore, the choice of treatment scheme and the number of attempts will have an impact on the cost of IVF.
Auxiliary technology
In the process of IVF treatment, some auxiliary technologies may be needed to improve the success rate, and these technologies will also increase the cost. Common auxiliary technologies include embryo chromosome screening (PGS), embryo blastocyst culture and embryo freezing.
The purpose of embryo chromosome screening is to screen out abnormal embryos and improve the implantation rate and pregnancy success rate. The cost of this technology is about 20000 to 30000 yuan.
Embryo blastocyst culture and embryo freezing are technical means to increase the accuracy of embryo culture and provide transfer opportunities, and the cost is usually between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, some drugs are needed to promote ovarian development and control ovulation time. The cost of these drugs varies according to different treatment schemes and personal circumstances.
IVF-ET treatment requires more drugs, such as ovulation promoting agents, luteinizing hormone, etc. Generally, the drug cost is between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan.
It should be noted that the above fees are for reference only, and the actual fees will vary depending on personal conditions and hospital pricing.
Summary
The cost range of IVF is determined by hospital selection, treatment scheme, auxiliary technology and drug cost. The cost of IVF services provided by well-known domestic hospitals and international private medical institutions is relatively high, usually between 100000 yuan and 150000 yuan. The choice of treatment scheme and the number of attempts will have an impact on the cost. The cost of each cycle is about 80000 yuan to 100000 yuan. Auxiliary technologies such as embryo chromosome screening, blastocyst culture and embryo freezing will increase costs, ranging from 10000 yuan to 30000 yuan. The drug cost is between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan. Therefore, when considering the cost of IVF, couples need to comprehensively consider their personal economic strength and medical needs, and choose their own programs and hospitals.
