What are the benefits of 2018 IVF subsidy policy?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to fertility problems to realize their reproductive dreams. In order to encourage more couples to try IVF, the government and medical institutions launched a series of IVF subsidy policies in 2018. This article will introduce these preferential policies from many aspects.

1. IVF medical expense subsidy
The medical cost in the process of IVF is one of the issues that couples are most concerned about. In order to reduce the financial burden of couples, the government and medical institutions have provided subsidies. First of all, some public hospitals have provided a certain proportion of fee reduction for IVF surgery. According to the economic situation and medical needs of couples, they can apply for 50% to 100% fee reduction. Secondly, some medical institutions also provide free or preferential services for IVF surgery to encourage couples to choose their institutions for surgery.
In addition, the government has also set up a subsidy fund for IVF medical expenses to provide financial support for some couples with financial difficulties. Couples can apply for funds according to their own economic conditions to pay for the medical expenses of IVF surgery. These subsidy policies have effectively reduced the economic pressure on couples to carry out IVF operations, so that more people can enjoy the benefits of this assisted reproductive technology.
2. Drug subsidy for test tube babies
In addition to the cost of surgery, IVF also needs to use some drugs to regulate women's cycle and increase the chance of ovulation induction. The cost of these drugs is also one of the problems that couples must face. In order to reduce this cost, the government and medical institutions have provided drug subsidies for IVF couples.
Some public hospitals provide relief or subsidies for some drug costs, and the specific amount depends on the economic situation and medical needs of the couple. At the same time, some pharmaceutical enterprises, pharmacies and charities have also provided IVF couples with drugs at preferential prices or free of charge. These subsidy policies enable couples to obtain more financial support in the process of IVF and reduce the pressure of drug costs.
3. Follow up care discount for test tube babies
After the IVF operation is successful, the couple also need to receive relevant follow-up care and pregnancy management. In order to help couples get through pregnancy, the government and medical institutions have provided a series of preferential policies for follow-up care. First of all, some public hospitals provide IVF couples with free or preferential prenatal examination and prenatal examination services to ensure the safety and smoothness of pregnancy.
In addition, the government has also set up a IVF follow-up care subsidy fund to provide financial support for some couples with financial difficulties. Couples can apply for funds according to their economic conditions to pay for follow-up care and pregnancy management. These subsidy policies provide a full range of care and support for IVF couples to help them get through pregnancy and successfully welcome the arrival of the baby.
4. IVF mental support discount
In the process of IVF, couples have experienced a lot of physical and psychological pressure, and they need corresponding mental support. In order to help couples overcome difficulties, the government and medical institutions have provided a series of preferential policies for IVF spiritual support.
Some public hospitals provide free or preferential services for psychological counseling and counseling to help couples alleviate anxiety and stress. At the same time, some charities and social organizations have also provided psychological counseling and mutual aid activities for IVF couples, so that they can communicate and support with couples with the same experience. These subsidy policies provide valuable spiritual support for IVF couples, making them feel warm and encouraged when facing difficulties.
Summary
The IVF subsidy policy in 2018 covers medical expense subsidy, drug expense subsidy, follow-up care preference and spiritual support preference. Through these preferential policies, the government and medical institutions strive to reduce the economic burden of couples and provide all-round support and help. With the implementation of these subsidy policies, more and more couples will be able to enjoy the benefits of IVF technology and realize their reproductive dreams.
