Beijing Medical Insurance Bureau released 16 assisted reproductive technology project, which was officially implemented on March 26th. This has given great support to many women who want to "test-tube baby".
Beijing 16 assisted reproductive technology project is included in medical insurance, and part of the expenses of IVF can be reimbursed. After getting the news that some assisted reproductive technology will be included in medical insurance in the outpatient department of Reproductive Hospital of Peking University People's Hospital, many patients came to ask about the implementation plan.
Patient: In the past, they all paid by themselves, but now some of them can be included in medical insurance to get more benefits, and they need a second or third child. I hope the country can support some. According to statistics, in the research center of assisted reproduction, the technology of "doing IVF" is most needed. The cost of this technology, including routine examination and treatment, is about 38,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan, and more than half of patients must be treated twice or more to succeed. Patient Miss Wang is 32 years old, 202 1, and has been married for five years. Today, she came to see a doctor for the first time and asked about the implementation plan of medical insurance.
Patient Wang Nv: Some of them are covered by medical insurance. I just found out yesterday. I'm joking with my lover. I said that this day helped me, and I felt that being covered by medical insurance could help many people solve their problems. According to the introduction of Beijing Medical Insurance Bureau, the prices of 16 assisted reproductive technologies included in the category of Class A medical insurance reimbursement range from 180 yuan to 5,000 yuan, and the project types include various health services such as artificial insemination, tube transplantation and shaping. Among them, the most expensive single item is in vitro embryo monogenic disease diagnosis technology, 5050 yuan.
It is understood that the promulgation of the latest policy may rekindle the expectations of many women who give up treatment because of price. In addition, authoritative experts also suggest that it will take time to expand the reimbursement scope of assisted reproductive medical insurance, and the sooner infertility is treated, the better. Shen Huan, Head of Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking University People's Hospital: In fact, the outpatient department of your hospital has received many hotline calls. Some patients said that quitting this month and waiting for the current policy to land can save a lot of money.
Director Shen, who has been engaged in assisted reproductive technology for more than 20 years, said that many patients give up treatment because of the cost. After the implementation of the current policy, the amount of medical treatment may increase to a certain extent. According to statistics, after the implementation of the medical insurance policy, from the embryo shaping of IVF in the laboratory to the treatment of IVF transplantation, it will probably save 1 10,000 yuan to10.4 million yuan.
Shen Huan, Director of Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking University People's Hospital: Age is the key factor in infertility treatment, because the faster the treatment, the greater the chance of success. There is a certain proportion of IVF price reimbursement, and some of them are not reported. If we wait for some current policies, reimbursement of some tests or reimbursement of drugs in the future, it will probably take some time. Experts suggest that Beijing, as the first region to include assisted reproductive technology projects in medical insurance, the implementation of relevant measures will play a demonstration and leading role in other parts of the country.
Feng, Research Director of the State Council Development Research Center: Since 20 19, many existing policies have actually been issued, which I think sets a good example. In order to cope with the problem of large fertility, a large number of people can have children if they want to, which improves people's fertility level and plays a very good role in promoting it.
