Is the cost of IVF high in Beijing?
Test tube baby is a more and more common way of birth in recent years, which is a feasible choice for some infertile couples. However, the cost of IVF has always been one of the concerns of people, especially in big cities like Beijing. So, is the cost of IVF in Beijing high? Which hospital has a relatively reasonable price? Next, we will elaborate from several aspects.
Choice of hospitals
There are many hospitals specialized in IVF technology in Beijing, including some well-known medical institutions. These hospitals also have different pricing according to their own brands and service quality. In some large general hospitals, the cost of IVF is relatively high, but the service is relatively comprehensive; Some professional reproductive hospitals or private hospitals are relatively affordable. Therefore, it is very important to choose the appropriate hospital for controlling the cost of IVF.
Taking a famous Grade III A hospital in Beijing as an example, the charging standard for IVF is roughly as follows: the labor cycle cost is about 20000 to 30000 yuan, the IVF transplantation cost is about 60000 to 80000 yuan, and the total cost may exceed 100000 yuan, including drug costs, medical and surgical examination costs, etc. The cost of private hospitals that are relatively friendly to the people may be less than 100000 yuan.
Medical process costs
IVF is a complex medical process, and the cost includes multiple links. The first is the ovulation promotion process of women, which requires injection of ovulation promotion drugs, which have higher prices. In addition, many specific operations such as tuboscopy, artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization should be carried out. These operations involve the professional skills of doctors, the use of equipment and medical materials, and the cost is relatively high.
In addition, the success rate of IVF is not high, and it usually takes multiple cycles to successfully conceive. The cost of each cycle needs to be borne, which also increases the pressure of IVF cost. Therefore, couples should fully understand the whole medical process before IVF, and make reasonable planning considering cost factors.
Insurance and subsidies
For the cost of IVF, some cities began to provide relevant medical insurance and subsidy policies. For example, Beijing began to provide certain medical insurance and medical assistance for IVF patients in 2017. According to the patient's ability to bear, different proportions of reimbursement and assistance can be obtained. These policies can reduce the economic pressure on couples to a certain extent.
In addition, some professional reproductive hospitals and scientific research institutions will also carry out some scientific research projects related to IVF to provide cost relief or subsidies for patients. The purpose of these scientific research projects is to promote the development and innovation of IVF technology. Couples can focus on these projects to obtain more medical resources.
Summary
To sum up, the cost of IVF in Beijing is relatively high, but not unacceptable. When choosing hospitals, couples can make reasonable choices according to their own economic conditions and needs. At the same time, the relevant policies and projects of the government and medical institutions also provide certain economic support and subsidies for couples. Therefore, families can reasonably plan the cost of IVF according to their own conditions to realize their fertility aspirations.
