Question 1: How much does it cost to do IVF?
Before doing IVF, many people will ask, how much does IVF really cost?
It is not that it cannot be told, but that there is no accurate answer to this question.
However, due to individual differences, differences in medication regimens, etc., the total cost of treatment is not the same, depending on the individual situation. Take Kunming Aviev Hospital, a well-known garden hospital in the domestic auxiliary industry, for example, the average cost of IVF treatment is about 30,000-40,000 yuan.
Question 2: Is it true that it takes a hundred or twenty thousand to do IVF?
Not.
IVF is charged according to the steps, and the current cost of a cycle is between 30,000 and 50,000, depending on the choice of the hospital, and the impact of individual differences, there will indeed be a certain difference. For patients who repeatedly fail implants due to advanced age, low ovarian function, or other diseases, the cost of their investment does continue to increase.
In addition, different cumulative treatments will also produce different charges, but it is far from reaching the price of more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan for one treatment.
Moreover, the amount of IVF costs a lot to do with the drugs used by patients, personal diagnosis and treatment plans, etc., and the medical level of the hospital, the technical level of experts and laboratory equipment are also inextricably linked.
Q3: What are the charges for IVF?
The fee items for IVF can be divided into three main aspects:
Examination cost: mainly includes a full set of examinations carried out by both husband and wife before entering the IVF cycle, because there are many items included, so it takes about five to six thousand effects;
Drug charges: Because of the difference in medication regimens and the types of drugs, the cost difference in this area is relatively large. For example, the long-term plan uses more drugs, imported drugs are more expensive, etc., are the main reasons for the different cost of drugs.
Surgical cost: Because IVF is targeted for different indications, it is also necessary to carry out different surgical procedures according to the specific situation of the patient during surgical treatment. For example, the cost of one-generation and second-generation IVF is different, and if you need to freeze embryos, cultivate blastocysts, etc., you also need a certain fee.
Question 4: Why do I have different IVF costs?
In general, the cost of IVF treatment will vary due to differences in medication regimens, different ovarian responses, and different treatment techniques.
In addition, the cost of examination, etc., some patients need to undergo some separate examination items, such as salpingogram, hysteroscopy and so on; There are also some patients who have done the test in the past and can provide a report within the validity period, so the cost of the test will also be different.
Question 5: Does IVF require a one-time payment?
IVF is charged according to the steps of treatment, and the cost of doing one step at a time is not a one-time payment.
Question 6: Is the charge for having twins in a test tube doubled?
The number of embryos transferred in IVF is determined based on the patient's physical condition, and the cost of the transfer is not calculated based on the number of embryos.
Therefore, whether it is a single or twin pregnancy, or a failed implantation of the embryo after transfer, the fee is the same.
Question 7: Why is IVF medicated?
According to the National Health Insurance Bureau, the conditions for integrating assisted reproductive technologies into the payment of basic health insurance are not yet in place. At present, tens of thousands of dollars can complete a cycle of treatment, which is also within the range that ordinary families can afford. And everyone's physical condition is different, the medication regimen is different, there will be different costs, and some patients may spend less if they are in good health.
Question 8: Is the cost doubled for transplantation after test tube failure?
On the one hand, in the test tube cycle will promote the ovulation of eggs to obtain multiple embryos, these embryos can be cryopreserved, if the transfer fails, then the cost of the second transfer of frozen embryos is generally only a few thousand to ten thousand or so costs, and will not double.
On the other hand, even if there is no cryopreservation of embryos that need to be re-ovulated, then some of the tests in the previous cycle can be done without repeating, which is equivalent to saving a part of the cost and not doubling.
Question 9: How to reduce the total cost of IVF?
Infertile couples who want to save money on IVF need to pay attention to the following aspects:
Choosing a professional hospital for treatment can improve the chance of conception, and being able to conceive a child as soon as possible can save the cost of multiple treatments;
Choose to do it at the optimal reproductive age to avoid the influence of age factors, which is more conducive to conception and save costs;
Actively prepare for pregnancy and adjust your body in advance;
Sorting out the relevant reference value inspection reports that have been done in the past can avoid repeated inspections and save costs;
Pay more attention to the subsidies and exemption activities carried out by hospitals.
During IVF treatment, we must choose a regular and professional IVF hospital to avoid choosing an unreliable hospital for treatment because of the low price mentality, otherwise it will not only increase the burden of treatment, but also waste the opportunity and time of treatment.
The above is the knowledge and experience sharing on the cost of doing IVF, I hope to help everyone, I wish everyone can get a good pregnancy as soon as possible!
