one 🏥 Hospital billing: "official price" from initial diagnosis to transplantation

First, nail down the big framework: the mainstream packages on the West Coast of the United States adopt a "segmented" pricing approach, that isOne stimulation+one fresh transplantFor one complete cycle. If the transplant is not performed during the cycle, the first subsequent transplant after freezing can enjoy the "frozen transplant price", and each subsequent transplant will be charged at the "second transplant price". The following is the "Standard Cycle" cash price (non discounted, non medicated) announced on the official websites of the IFC IVF Center (INCINTA) and the RFC Fertility Center (RFC) in April 2024.

👀 Summary: If you graduate with one booster shot and one fresh transplant, the "hospital bare price" at INCINTA is approximately $21000; If the cycle is not transplanted and FET is done again, the total hospital price is approximately $26000. RFC is 8-10% cheaper overall, but due to its location about an hour's drive from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), transportation costs need to be included.

two 💊 Black hole of drug cost: the same plan, some people have 6000, while others have 15000?

The cost of medication is the most easily "out of control" link during IVF in the United States, and the differences mainly come from three points:

1. The length of the ovulation promotion plan: antagonist 10 days vs long plan 14 days;
2. Self AMH level: AMH<1.0 often requires doubling the dosage;
3. Pharmacy selection: Costco, Ralph's, specialty pharmacy with a price difference of up to 35%.

🙋‍♀️ 所以“标准拮抗剂方案”药费区间：

• 低反应（AMH＜1.0）：12,000–15,000
• 正常反应（AMH 1.0–3.5）：5,500–7,500
• 高反应（AMH＞3.5）：4,500–6,000

💡 省钱技巧：医生开处方后，先在GoodRx搜券，再去Costco药房下单，通常能再省10–18%。

3. 🛂 医疗签+陪产签：签证、翻译、公证一次说清

赴美试管最常走的是B1/B2旅游医疗签，一家三口同时面签，材料核心是“医院预约信+财力证明”。

4. ✈️ 机票+住宿：3个周期模型（7天/14天/30天）

以北京/上海直飞洛杉矶为例，经济舱往返含税常年价900–1,200 USD，旺季（7–8月、圣诞）能飙到1,600。移植周期一般需在美国停留7–30天，对应3种常见模型：

🚗 交通：租车30 USD/天+保险15，油费每加仑4.8 USD，14天约700。Uber单次机场到诊所约70 USD，若每天往返两次，14天≈1,960，比租车贵，建议租车。

5. 🧪 实验室“附加赛”：PGT、ERA、EMMA、ALICE怎么选

很多人以为“套餐价”=全部，其实一到实验室环节，账单会像俄罗斯套娃一样层层弹出。

📌 举例：35岁，获胚7枚，全部送检PGT-A，额外支出7×400=2,800；若再做ERA+EMMA，再加1,545。所以“实验室附加”轻松破3,000。

6. 🩸 男士钱包：精液解析、冷冻、运输、ICSI附加费

男方支出常被忽视，其实“取精—冷冻—跨境运输”每一步都可能出现隐形收费。

7. 🍼 移植后“保胎”支出：黄体酮到底打多久？

美国诊所普遍建议黄体支持到孕10周，按“阴道凝胶+口服+肌注”三阶梯：

• Endometrin 3/日×60天≈630
• 口服Estrace≈48
• 肌注Progesterone油剂，每支25，每天1支×60≈1,500

若对油剂过敏换为 daily PIO 50mg/1ml，价格翻倍。合计“保胎”预算700–1,600。

8. 🧾 隐形账单：停车费、加急麻醉、手术室超时费

真实场景：取卵当天若卵泡太多，手术超时30分钟，额外收500；停车场3小时12，做超声忘带cash，现场罚款35；麻醉医生发现BMI＞30，加收困难气道费200。零零碎碎加起来300–800不等，建议额外预留1,000“小灾难基金”。
