Price range of one test tube baby
With the development of IVF technology in recent decades, it has become a blessing for many couples who cannot conceive. However, the price of a test tube baby is an important issue for couples. This article will elaborate on the price range of one test tube baby from the aspects of medical expenses, hospital selection, extra expenses after the birth of the baby and government subsidies.
1、 Medical expenses
The medical cost of IVF is the most direct concern of couples. The medical expenses of IVF mainly include the expenses of artificial insemination, egg retrieval, embryo transfer and other items. There are some differences in medical expenses according to different hospitals, different regions and different situations.
Generally speaking, in domestic hospitals, the cost of a complete IVF process is about 100000 to 300000 yuan. In some high-end hospitals or professional IVF clinics, the cost may be higher.
In addition, the medical expenses of IVF also include related auxiliary technology and drug expenses, such as hormone therapy, embryo culture, frozen embryo storage, etc. These costs will also increase the total price of IVF.
To sum up, the range of medical expenses for IVF is relatively wide, generally between 100000 yuan and 300000 yuan.
2、 Hospital selection
The choice of hospital is one of the important factors that affect the price of IVF. Some well-known large AAA hospitals and professional IVF centers in China usually have more advanced equipment and technology, but their prices are relatively high.
Taking Beijing as an example, the cost of IVF in well-known hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Beijing Maternity Hospital is generally high, even reaching more than 300000 yuan. In some prefecture level cities, the cost of IVF is relatively low in general hospitals or clinics.
Therefore, when choosing IVF hospitals, couples should consider not only the price, but also the professionalism and reputation of the hospital to find a hospital with reasonable cost performance ratio.
3、 Additional expenses after birth
After the birth of test tube babies, there will be some additional expenses, such as infant support costs, medical care costs, milk powder and diaper costs.
Infant support costs are one of the long-term costs that IVF families need to bear, including clothing, food, toys, education and other costs. These costs will vary depending on the family's economic situation and lifestyle.
Medical care expenses refer to the medical expenses after the birth of the baby, including physical examination, vaccination, etc. These expenses can generally be reimbursed in part through medical insurance.
Taking all the above factors into consideration, the extra expenses after IVF birth are also part of the IVF expenses that couples need to consider.
4、 Government subsidies
In order to encourage fertility and support the development of IVF technology, some local governments have given some subsidies to IVF families.
Taking Shanghai as an example, the maximum subsidy for each IVF family in Shanghai is 150000 yuan. In addition, some cities also provide free programs related to IVF, such as egg retrieval and embryo cryopreservation.
Therefore, IVF couples need to understand the relevant local policies and subsidies in order to reduce part of the cost burden.
Summary
To sum up, the price range of one test tube baby is mainly affected by medical expenses, hospital selection, extra expenses after the birth of the baby, government subsidies and other aspects.
According to the differences between different hospitals and regions, the medical expenses of IVF are generally between 100000 yuan and 300000 yuan. Choosing a suitable hospital should consider not only the price, but also the professional level and reputation of the hospital. After the birth of IVF babies, additional support and medical care costs are required. In addition, the government's subsidy policy will also have a certain impact on the price of IVF.
Therefore, when considering the price of a single IVF baby, couples should consider the above factors comprehensively and choose a program that is suitable for their economic situation and needs.
