How to calculate the price of IVF
IVF is a method to help infertile couples achieve fertility through in vitro fertilization. However, the price of IVF is one of the reasons that many couples flinch. The price of IVF is not fixed, and it will be affected by many factors. The following will elaborate on how to calculate the price of IVF from four aspects: hospital costs, drug costs, auxiliary treatment costs and follow-up costs.
Hospital expenses
IVF procedures need to be carried out in professional reproductive hospitals, and hospital costs are an important part of the overall IVF costs. The charging standards of different hospitals will vary, and some hospitals may charge more. Hospital expenses usually include doctor's diagnosis, operating room use fees, operating expenses, etc. When selecting hospitals, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the hospital's reputation, equipment, technical level, price and other factors.
Taking a Grade III A hospital in Beijing as an example, the general cost of IVF is between 50000 yuan and 80000 yuan. However, if some special auxiliary technologies are needed, such as embryo freezing, embryo incubator, etc., the cost may increase.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, a large number of drugs are needed to assist the reproductive process. Drug cost is an important part of IVF cost. Common drugs include ovulation promoting drugs, embryo promoting drugs, anticoagulants, etc. The prices of these drugs will also vary according to different brands and drug types.
In hospitals in Beijing, for example, the drug cost is generally between 30000 yuan and 30000 yuan, and the specific cost depends on the individual condition of the patient. When purchasing drugs, patients should choose the drugs suitable for themselves according to the doctor's suggestions, and purchase them in legal ways to avoid blind help and purchase counterfeit drugs.
Auxiliary treatment expenses
Some IVF patients may need some adjuvant treatment in the whole process, such as fallopian tube recanalization, endometrial dredging, etc. These adjuvant treatments may increase the cost of IVF.
Taking a general hospital in Shanghai as an example, the cost of tubal recanalization is between 15000 yuan and 20000 yuan, and the cost of endometrial recanalization is slightly higher. When patients receive adjuvant treatment, they need to consider the factors of treatment effect and cost, and choose a treatment scheme suitable for themselves.
Follow up expenses
The cost of IVF is not limited to the operation process, but also needs to consider the subsequent costs. If the IVF operation is successful, the costs of prenatal examination, maternal health care, and delivery during pregnancy should be considered. In addition, if you fail to conceive successfully, you may need to try many times, and there will be a certain cost for each attempt.
In general, the price of IVF is relatively high, including hospital costs, drug costs, auxiliary treatment costs, follow-up costs and other factors. Therefore, when deciding to carry out IVF surgery, couples need to fully understand the cost composition, and make reasonable planning and selection under the guidance of doctors, so as to improve the success rate and reduce costs while achieving fertility aspirations.
summary
The price calculation of IVF involves hospital costs, drug costs, auxiliary treatment costs and follow-up costs. The situation of different hospitals and patients will lead to price differences. When choosing IVF surgery, couples should fully understand the price composition, and formulate a reasonable budget and program under the guidance of doctors to achieve their fertility aspirations.
