Fees and expense standards of IVF
IVF means that fertilized eggs are cultivated in vitro through assisted reproduction technology, and healthy embryos are implanted into the mother's uterus for pregnancy. With the progress of science and technology and the increase of social demand, IVF has become an increasingly popular choice. However, the cost of IVF is an issue that cannot be ignored. The following will elaborate on the cost and cost standards of IVF from four aspects.
medical expense
The medical cost of IVF is the most important part of the whole treatment process. Medical expenses include medical examination, medicine and operation expenses. First, patients need to carry out a series of comprehensive examinations, such as pelvic ultrasound, endocrine examination and sperm quality examination, to assess the suitability of patients and determine the best treatment plan. These examinations cost thousands to 10000 yuan. Secondly, drug costs can not be ignored. Drugs include ovulation promoting drugs, hormone drugs and anticoagulant drugs. According to personal conditions and the types of drugs used, the costs vary from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. Finally, the operation cost is the highest one, including egg retrieval operation, embryo cultivation and embryo transfer operation. The operation cost ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan, depending on the equipment and technical level of the hospital.
In general, medical expenses are the most significant expenses in IVF treatment, and may vary according to the equipment, technology and service level of different regions and hospitals.
Hospitalization expenses
The IVF treatment needs to be carried out in professional hospitals, so the hospitalization expenses can not be ignored. The hospitalization expenses include ward expenses, operating room expenses and other miscellaneous expenses. Ward costs are calculated according to the ward level and length of stay. Generally speaking, the cost of ordinary wards is lower, while that of luxury wards is higher. Operating room expenses mainly include operation preparation, anesthesia expenses and operating equipment expenses. Other miscellaneous expenses include laboratory expenses, blood transfusion expenses and nursing expenses.
Hospitalization expense is an indispensable expense in IVF treatment, which varies according to the level and service level of hospitals.
Assisted reproductive technology costs
The cost of assisted reproductive technology refers to the cost of assisted technology involved in IVF treatment. Assisted reproductive technology costs include in vitro fertilization (IVF) costs, embryo freezing costs and embryo implantation costs. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the core part of IVF treatment. The cost includes egg retrieval, sperm treatment and fertilized embryo culture. The cost of embryo freezing is to freeze and preserve the embryos that have not been implanted for future use. The cost includes the use of freezing equipment and freezing liquid. The cost of embryo implantation refers to the implantation of healthy embryos into the mother's uterus for pregnancy. The cost includes implantation surgery and preparation before implantation.
The cost of assisted reproductive technology is an indispensable part of IVF treatment. The cost will vary according to different hospitals and technical levels.
Follow up expenses
After the birth of IVF babies, a series of follow-up treatment and care are also required, which is part of the cost. Follow up costs include post birth care, health examination and drug costs. After birth, babies need to undergo regular physical examination to ensure their normal growth and development. At the same time, if the baby has special circumstances, additional examination and treatment are required, which are part of the follow-up costs.
Follow up costs are inevitable in IVF treatment, which may vary according to personal conditions and hospital service levels.
Summary
The expenses and cost standards of IVF include medical expenses, hospitalization expenses, assisted reproductive technology expenses and follow-up expenses. The cost of IVF treatment varies according to different hospitals and technical levels. Before choosing hospitals and conducting IVF treatment, patients need to fully understand the cost and cost standards to make reasonable decisions.
