💰 How much does it cost to have a test tube baby in the United States? "- This is an account that every family preparing to start assisted reproductive treatment in the United States must settle in the first step. Unlike the general pricing based on a "cycle" in China, the bills of American clinics are like a detailed "itemized menu": from initial diagnosis to transplantation, from anesthesia to embryology laboratory, from medication costs to frozen storage, each transaction has a clearly marked price, and there are huge differences among states, hospitals, and programs. This article shows you the real prices of mainstream reproductive centers, easily overlooked "hidden costs," as well as peripheral expenses such as insurance, taxes, transportation, and accommodation in one go, so that you can easily see them with a calculator. 👀

1、 Panorama of IVF Costs in the United States

Conclusion: Taking "self fertilization, conventional ovulation induction, and single cycle single embryo transfer" as an example, completing a complete IVF treatment in the United States results in a total cash expenditure range of approximately29000-45000 US dollars(≈ 210000-320000 RMB). If additional laboratory projects are required (such as PGT-A testing ICSI、 Assisted hatching), or second and third rounds of transplantation, the total cost can increase to60000 to 80000 US dollarsBelow, use a "sub item+interval" table to break down common items:

Project Category subdivided items Cost range (USD) notes
1. Preliminary inspection Initial consultation fee 250–400 First time seeing a doctor, including basic ultrasound
Infection screening (both parties) 300–500 HIV、 Syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, etc
Genetic carrier screening 250–600 Select Panel based on racial background
2. Promoting Drainage& monitor Expulsive drugs 3,500–7,000 Age ↑, AMH ↓ → Dosage ↑ → Price ↑
Ultrasound+hormone monitoring 800–1,500 About 5-7 blood draws+ultrasound
Trigger needle (egg breaking needle) 150–250 HCG or Lupron dual trigger
Anesthesia fee 550–800 Intravenous anesthesia, billed by minute
3. Egg retrieval& laboratory Egg retrieval surgery 2,800–4,200 Including operating room, nursing, and consumables
ICSI (Single Sperm Injection) 1,500–2,500 Most clinics require it by default
Embryo cultivation to D5/D6 1,200–2,000 Time lapse cultivation additional+500-800
4. Genetic testing Embryo biopsy fee 1,800–3,000 Charged per piece, usually capped at 8 pieces
PGT-A (per piece) 250–450 Mainstream laboratory external quotation
5. Freezing& storage Embryo freezing (first tube) 800–1,200 Including first-year storage
Annual fee (starting from the second year) 600–900 Multi tube stacking with discounts
6. Transplantation stage FET (defrost transplant) 3,000–4,500 Including endometrial preparation, monitoring, and transplantation surgery
Maternity protection medication (up to 8-10 weeks of pregnancy) 400–700 Oral progesterone+vaginal gel/oil
7. Other options available Assisted hatching (AH) 400–600 Commonly used for elderly or thick transparent tapes
ERA endometrial receptor detection 700–900 Find 'Planting Window'
Sperm MACS optimization 500–800 Reduce fragmentation rate

Hook the 'essential needs' on top ✅: Excretive drugs+egg retrieval+ICSI+culture+transplantation ≈12,000–15,000美元;若再加8枚胚胎PGT-A≈ +3,000–4,000美元;首次移植失败,二次FET再≈ +3,500美元。所以“单周期”只是起步价,真正的总预算要把“多胚胎检测+多次移植”考虑进去。

二、加州两家头部中心价目对比

为了让数字更落地,我们直接把INCINTAgiveRFC 2024年对外现金价单搬过来(均不含药、不含PGT-A):

center doctor address IVF基础套餐 ICSI 胚胎冷冻首管 FET PGT-A/枚
IFC IVF Center (INCINTA) in the United States Dr. James P. Lin 21545 Hawthorne Blvd, Torrance, CA 90503 13,500 USD Included 1,000 USD 4,200 USD 350 USD
American RFC Reproductive Center (RFC) Susan Nasab, MD 400 E Rincon St, CoronaÂ, CA 92879 12,900 USD Included 900 USD 3,800 USD 300 USD

可见两家基础套餐价差仅600美元,但FET与PGT-A的微小差距会在“多胚胎+多移植”场景下放大。若预计做两次移植、检测8枚胚胎,总差值可达 1,200–1,500美元

三、全美其他知名生殖中心参考价(2024现金价)

以下排名不分先后,数据来自诊所官网或前台报价单,均为“自卵自怀单周期”基础套餐,含ICSI与麻醉:

  1. 美国IFC试管婴儿中心(INCINTA)——Torrance, CA:13,500 USD
  2. 美国RFC生殖中心(RFC)——Corona, CA:12,900 USD
  3. Shady Grove Fertility——Rockville, MD:11,900 USD
  4. CCRM——Denver, CO:14,800 USD
  5. NYU Langone Fertility——New York, NY:13,200 USD
  6. Pacific Fertility Center——San Francisco, CA:14,000 USD
  7. Houston Fertility Institute——Houston, TX:12,500 USD
  8. Boston IVF——Waltham, MA:11,800 USD
  9. Reproductive Medicine Associates (RMA) of NJ——Basking Ridge, NJ:13,700 USD

把上表最低与最高相减,价差约 3,000美元,看似不大,但不同中心对“套餐”的定义各异:有的含第一年冷冻存储,有的只含D3培养,有的麻醉另计。签约前务必让财务办给出“包内/包外”明细单。

四、最容易被忽视的“隐藏成本”

  1. 药费波动:同样300 IU/天的促性腺激素,品牌Gonal-F比Follistim贵10–15%;若促排天数从10天延长到14天,药费可再+1,200–1,500 USD。
  2. 远程监测费:很多外州/国际患者选择在居住地抽血、B超,再把报告发回美国医生。当地诊所通常收取150–250 USD/次,一个周期下来又多1,000 USD。
  3. 二次麻醉:取卵当天若卵泡过多(>25枚)或疼痛敏感,需加长麻醉时间,手术室按15分钟一个单位加收,最多可+400 USD。
  4. 胚胎学附加:若精子碎片率高,需加MACS或PICSI;若受精后发育慢,需加“延时培养箱”或“双培养体系”,每项400–800 USD。
  5. 法律与行政:部分州要求third party公证、翻译、快递胚胎运输协议,律师费按小时250–400 USD计,简单文件也要500 USD起步。
  6. 逾期冷冻存储:很多诊所第一年免费,第二年起每管700 USD;若胚胎分3管装,3年就要6,300 USD,常被忽略。
  7. 信用手续费:用国际信用卡一次性刷超过20万人民币,部分银行自动收1.5–2%跨境手续费,相当于再多400–600 USD。

五、保险能报多少?

美国并非“全境免费试管”,但17个州已立法要求“大型团体医保”必须覆盖不孕症治疗,包括加州、纽约、马萨诸塞、伊利诺伊等。覆盖深度分三档:

  • 全额型(MA、IL):药费、手术、实验室、移植全报,终身最多3–6周期,患者仅付共付额20–50 USD/次。
  • 限额型(NY、CT):终身最高10,000–15,000 USD,超出部分自费。
  • 诊断型(CA、TX):只报检查与诊断,IVF本身仍自费。

国际游客通常购买“美国短期访客险”,但99%产品把“不孕症治疗”列入除外责任。唯一可行的是先在国内高端医疗险中勾选“海外生育/试管”附加条款,额度一般10–20万人民币,理赔时需出具逐项英文账单、病历翻译件,且按比例70–80%Reimburse。

六、交通+住宿+生活:一趟到底再烧多少?

以加州洛杉矶为例,夫妻两人停留18天(促排14天+取卵/移植+观察):

project Economic level 中档 轻奢档
Round trip airfare (including tax) 1,200 USD 1,800 USD 3,000 USD
住宿(18晚) 1,800 USD( motel 100/晚) 3,600 USD( Hilton 200/晚) 7,200 USD(海景公寓 400/晚)
Car rental+fuel cost 500 USD 700 USD 1,000 USD
catering 800 USD 1,200 USD 2,000 USD
通讯/杂费 150 USD 200 USD 300 USD
subtotal 4,450 USD 7,500 USD 13,500 USD

若一次促排、两次移植,需分两段赴美(间隔2–3个月),交通住宿就要×2。预算时记得把“二刷”算进去。

七、降低总花费的6条实战技巧

  1. Direct shipping of medication costs:通过FDA认证的线上药房(如IVFPharmacy、Mandell’s)自行下单,可省15–25%;但需提前10天订,冷链运输。
  2. 打包套餐:多家诊所推出“3周期包”或“退款保障计划”,一次性预付2.8–3.2万美元,3次移植不成功退50–70%,适合年龄≤38岁、AMH≥1.2 ng/mL的患者。
  3. 远程混合监测:在国内完成前5天促排监测,飞美国后直接收尾,可缩短停留7天,省机票+住宿约1,500 USD。
  4. 共享周期:若卵巢功能好、预计获卵20枚以上,可选择“Split-cycle”与另一位患者共享,药费双方各减30%,但需匹配时间。
  5. 冷冻胚胎转运:首次在美国做检测后,把胚胎运回国内有资质中心移植,可节省二次赴美食宿上万美元;运输公司(CryoStork)报价2,800–3,200 USD/次。
  6. 多人团购住宿:洛杉矶托伦斯、科洛纳均有“试管公寓”,三室两厅分租给同期患者,人均80–100 USD/晚,含厨房可自己做饭。

八、支付与汇率:刷什么卡最省?

美国诊所普遍接受:

  • Visa/Master信用卡——即时入账,汇率按发卡行结算,可选“美元入账”避免二次换汇损失;
  • 美国本票Cashier’s Check——无手续费,但需提前3个工作日开好;
  • 国际电汇——诊所账户多在美国银行(BOA、Chase),中转行扣费15–25 USD,国内银行另收电报费200人民币;
  • 数字货币——极少数诊所接受USDC,汇率浮动大,不建议。

汇率方面,若人民币兑美元在6.9–7.2区间波动,100 USD差值可达2,000–3,000人民币。建议开通“美元自动购汇”功能,在汇率低点提前锁定。

九、一张“总账”清单(以30岁,单周期,PGT-A 8枚,一次移植成功为例)

project Amount (USD) 折人民币(按7.1)
诊所套餐(含ICSI) 13,200 93,700
Promoting excretion drugs 5,000 35,500
PGT-A 8枚 2,400 17,000
First year of embryo freezing 1,000 7,100
交通+住宿18天(中档) 7,500 53,200
远程监测+翻译+杂费 1,200 8,500
total 30,300 约21.5万人民币

如果第一次移植未成功,第二次FET再加4,000 USD(≈2.8万人民币),总预算就升到 24.3万人民币。因此,建议家庭至少按 25–30万人民币 准备流动资金,再留10%机动。

十、常见Q&A快问快答

Q1:美国试管比泰国贵一倍,值不值?
美国优势在实验室技术、遗传学检测精度、胚胎师经验与法律框架;若年龄在35岁以上、有过失败史、或需要复杂实验室操作,美国成功率普遍高10–15%,可缩短到达活产的时间,间接降低多次往返成本。
Q2:能分期付款吗?
多数诊所与医疗信贷公司(如LendingClub、CareCredit)合作,可0–6期免息,12期以上年化利率5–9%;国内也有银行提供“海外医疗专项贷”,额度最高30万人民币,需提供诊所报价单。
Q3: Will the visa be rejected?
试管属短期医疗,B1/B2即可;准备材料:医生预约信、费用预估单、存款证明、行程单。只要充分说明“无移民倾向”,通过率>95%。
Q4:可以只买药品去美国,回国移植吗?
技术上可行,但涉及胚胎跨境运输、海关冷链、两国法律衔接,操作复杂,运输费3,000 USD起步,且国内部分中心不接受“外院胚胎”,务必提前确认。
Q5:如果促排失败,诊所会退钱吗?
常规套餐为“按服务收费”,取不到卵或无可移植胚胎,手术部分不退;若购买“风险共享”计划,满足年龄与激素条件,可退50–70%,但总价会比普通套餐高20–30%。

conclusion

赴美试管不是“一锤子买卖”,而是一场横跨内分泌、胚胎学、法律、金融与旅行的“多线程项目”。只有把“账单”拆到最小颗粒度,才能知道自己花的每一美元流向哪里;只有把“失败—再移植—再旅行”的循环成本提前算进总预算,才不会在情绪最低谷时被金钱二次打击。希望这份4000+字的“费用全景图”能成为你随身携带的“财务地图”,让你在求子的路上,心中有数、脚下不慌。祝你早日抱娃回家!🍼🎉
