How much is the cost of IVF babies at the age of 40?

IVF is a method of assisting reproduction by implanting the fertilized eggs into the uterus of women after cultivating them in the laboratory for many days through IVF technology. For older couples, IVF can provide an opportunity for pregnancy. However, the cost of IVF is an important factor to consider. This article will discuss the cost of IVF at the age of 40 and how to save the cost from different aspects.

medical expense

The medical cost of IVF is one of the main costs of treatment. Usually, these fees include consultation fees, medicine fees, surgery fees and follow-up fees. These fees will vary according to different hospitals and regions. Take a large Grade III Grade A hospital in Beijing as an example, the consultation fee is about 1000 yuan (RMB), the drug fee is about 5000-10000 yuan, and the surgery fee is about 4000-60000 yuan. In addition, the hospital will arrange corresponding prenatal examination and treatment according to personal conditions, which may increase additional costs.

Here are some ways to save medical expenses:

• Select a hospital with reasonable price: When selecting a hospital, you can refer to the cost standards of different hospitals to select a hospital with reasonable price.
• Explore government subsidies and medical insurance policies: learn about local government subsidies and medical insurance policies so as to make full use of relevant benefits.
• Communication with doctors: actively communicate with doctors to understand the specific treatment plan and cost details, so as to be able to reasonably arrange their own economic budget.

Cost of assisted reproductive technology

In addition to medical expenses, the cost of assisted reproductive technology is also one of the costs of IVF. The cost of assisted reproductive technology includes various technical costs in the process of egg retrieval, culture and implantation. The specific cost will vary according to the hospital and technical difficulty. Take a private specialized hospital in Shanghai as an example, the cost of assisted reproductive technology is about 20000-40000 yuan.

Here are some ways to save the cost of assisted reproductive technology:

• Understand the price of different hospitals: compare the cost of assisted reproductive technology in different hospitals, and choose a hospital with reasonable price.
• Participating in relevant preferential activities: some hospitals will hold preferential activities irregularly. Understanding these activities can save costs to a certain extent.
• Select the appropriate technical scheme: fully discuss with the doctor to select the appropriate technical scheme and avoid unnecessary technical costs.

Drug expenses

In the process of IVF, the use of drugs is very important. Drug cost is a cost that cannot be ignored. For example, ovulation promoting drugs, hormone drugs and drugs that assist embryo implantation need to be used and are relatively expensive. According to the different conditions of hospitals and individuals, drug costs will vary. Take a tertiary A hospital in Guangzhou as an example, the drug cost is about 5000-10000 yuan.

Here are some ways to save drug costs:

• Choose a reasonable drug plan: fully discuss with the doctor to choose a cost-effective drug plan.
• Looking for a drug agent: consult with a doctor or pharmacist to find out if there is a drug agent that can offer a more favorable price.
• Pay attention to price comparison when purchasing drugs: when purchasing drugs, you can compare the prices of several pharmacies to choose the drugs with reasonable prices.

Psychological counseling expenses

The process of IVF is very stressful for both husband and wife. Due to the growing age, the pain of infertility and the uncertainty in the treatment process, many couples need psychological counseling. The cost of psychological counseling is also one of the costs to be considered when carrying out IVF. According to the qualifications of different hospitals and consultants, the cost of psychological counseling will vary. Taking a maternity hospital in Chengdu as an example, the cost of psychological counseling is about 200-500 yuan/time.

Here are some ways to save the cost of psychological counseling:

• Selection of suitable psychological consultants: When selecting psychological consultants, you can refer to their qualifications and experience to find professionals with moderate prices.
• Participate in free psychological counseling activities provided by the hospital: some hospitals will regularly hold free or preferential psychological counseling activities, and you can participate in these activities to reduce costs.
• Seek the support of family and friends: The support of family and friends is very important. You can reduce the psychological burden by communicating with them.

To sum up, the cost of IVF is very high, mainly including medical costs, assisted reproductive technology costs, drug costs and psychological counseling costs. In terms of cost saving, we can choose hospitals with reasonable prices, understand government subsidies and medical insurance policies, actively communicate with doctors, choose appropriate technical solutions, participate in preferential activities, find drug agents, pay attention to price comparison when purchasing drugs, choose suitable psychological consultants, participate in free psychological counseling activities, and seek support from family and friends. After understanding the relevant costs and taking appropriate measures, we hope that every 40 year old couple who pursue IVF can realize their family dreams while effectively saving costs.
