From next year, some items of Hangzhou IVF can be reimbursed! Will other regions follow suit?

In some parts of China, there are still many treatment expenses that are not included in the scope of medical reimbursement, such as IVF. We all know that many couples can't give birth normally, so they usually choose to go to the hospital to do IVF, and the cost is usually tens of thousands of dollars. Moreover, such a high cost is unbearable for many ordinary families, but it deserves people's attention. In August this year, the National Health and Family Planning Commission incorporated assisted reproductive technology into the medical insurance reimbursement policy, which will be first tried out in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. From next year, as long as the residents who participate in the West Lake Yilianbao commercial supplementary medical insurance in Hangzhou can implement assisted reproductive technology in 2023, and they can get a reimbursement fee of up to 3,000 yuan. This is undoubtedly good news for families who need to be IVF. We inquired about the information and learned that there are two important steps in IVF, namely embryo culture and embryo transfer. According to the charge standard of Zhejiang Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, the charge for embryo culture is generally 2,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan each time. When it comes to embryo transfer, the charging standard is about 2000 yuan each time. Until then, these expenses will be borne by individuals. However, from next year, as long as the insured, most of the expenses of these two operations will be borne by the West Lake Joint Office, which will solve great financial difficulties for these families, and most importantly, solve great difficulties for many couples who want to be IVF. Will other regions follow suit? In fact, for this problem, many regions have intended to include assisted reproduction in medical insurance. For example, Henan Medical Insurance Bureau, it is reported that they will gradually include medical insurance providers in the scope of medical insurance payment in May this year. Moreover, the probability of infertility in China is also rising in recent years, so I believe that the inclusion of assisted reproduction in medical insurance will be followed up in all parts of China.
