How to save the cost of IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which is an important way of hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, the costs of IVF are often prohibitive. Therefore, it is particularly important for some couples with economic considerations to know how to save the cost of IVF. This article will introduce how to control the cost of IVF from many aspects.
Select the right hospital and doctor
First, choosing the right hospital and doctor can help couples save the cost of IVF. When selecting hospitals, we can consider some formal and reputable professional reproductive hospitals. These hospitals have rich experience and professional medical teams, which can effectively improve the success rate and reduce the number of attempts.
In addition, doctors should be carefully selected. Experienced doctors can provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment programs, avoid unnecessary examinations and operations, and thus save costs. Couples can consult other patients who have successfully carried out IVF to understand the professional level and medical effect of doctors.
In addition, you can compare the charging standards and service quality of different hospitals and choose hospitals with high cost performance. When selecting hospitals, do not choose institutions without relevant qualifications and experience for the sake of low cost, so as to avoid failure due to inadequate technology and services.
Reduce drug and test costs
In the process of IVF, drug and examination expenses often account for the majority of expenses. Therefore, if you want to save the cost of IVF, you need to pay attention to reducing the cost of drugs and tests.
On the one hand, you can consult your doctor about the effect and price of different drugs and choose drugs with higher cost performance. In addition, some drugs can be purchased at their own expense to reduce the hospital's expenses, but they need to consult a doctor before use.
On the other hand, during the inspection process, the inspection frequency can be reasonably arranged to avoid unnecessary repeated inspection. Couples can consult the doctor about the necessity and time of the examination, and selectively carry out relevant examinations to avoid wasting costs.
In addition, some IVF hospitals will also provide some discounts or installment payment methods for medical schemes. Couples can consult the hospital's relevant preferential policies and fee arrangements to choose the scheme most suitable for their economic strength.
Use of control aids
The process of IVF involves many assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Controlling the use of these assistive technologies can help save the cost of IVF.
On the one hand, the use of auxiliary technology can be reasonably selected according to personal circumstances. For example, for women with clear fallopian tube problems, embryo transfer technology can be selected without additional in vitro fertilization and other operations. When carrying out auxiliary technology, doctors can be consulted to select the technology most suitable for their own conditions.
On the other hand, single embryo transfer can be considered to avoid the risk and cost increase of multiple pregnancy. Multiple pregnancy requires more complex monitoring and management, which increases the cost of hospitals. By choosing single embryo transfer, the extra cost in this case can be avoided.
Actively keep healthy
Finally, couples should actively keep healthy and reduce the risk of illness, thus reducing unnecessary medical expenses.
On the one hand, keeping good living habits can enhance physical health. Quitting smoking, limiting drinking, eating regularly, and exercising moderately can improve physical fitness and reduce the possibility of illness. Avoiding overeating and unhealthy lifestyle also has a positive impact on the success rate of IVF.
On the other hand, couples can conduct regular physical examination, timely discover and treat some potential health problems, and reduce subsequent medical expenses. For example, for women, keeping good gynecological health can avoid unnecessary surgery and treatment.
Summary
To save the cost of IVF, couples can start with selecting appropriate hospitals and doctors, reducing drug and examination costs, controlling the use of assistive technology, and actively maintaining health. These methods can help couples reduce unnecessary expenses and achieve the goal of saving IVF costs on the premise of ensuring the treatment effect.
