The treatment range corresponding to the cost estimate
Egg retrieval and culture, egg freezing and frozen embryo transfer have different needs. Egg retrieval and culture include fertilization and embryo work; egg freezing preserves eggs; frozen embryo transfer starts from existing embryos. It is clearer to include the treatment stage in the cost estimate than to list a "period price" separately.
| Expense Category | Content |
|---|---|
| Clinical fees | Clinical items such as initial consultation, examination, monitoring, egg retrieval, anesthesia, and transfer. |
| Laboratory fees | IVF/ICSI, culture, biopsy, genetic testing, freezing and thawing, etc. |
| Medication | It may be settled separately by the pharmacy; the type and dosage of medication are determined by the doctor. |
| Storage | For the first period of storage and subsequent annual renewals, the egg and embryo items will be priced separately. |
| LAIVF service fees | If paid assistance is entrusted, the corresponding service content, term and amount shall be clear. |
| Travel and Third Party Services | Air tickets, accommodation, transportation and separately entrusted translation, etc. |

Inquiry questions that can be copied to the reception team
Please provide an itemized cost estimate based on this proposed plan, and indicate the included and unincluded examination, drug, monitoring, operation, anesthesia, laboratory, testing, transfer and preservation costs. At the same time, please explain the applicable conditions of the cost estimate, payment milestones, and settlement rules in case of cancellation, postponement or plan adjustment.
If there are still items that need to be decided by the doctor, you can ask the other party to list them as "to be evaluated" first, and explain how to supplement the cost estimate after the decision is made.
