According to the relevant regulations of our city, the price items of 8 assisted reproductive medical services such as "egg retrieval", "embryo culture", "embryo transfer", "tissue and cell biopsy (assisted reproduction)", "artificial insemination", "sperm optimization treatment", "sperm retrieval" and "sperm injection" are included in the scope of basic medical insurance payment, as shown in the following table.
Q3
How much does an assisted reproduction program cost? What is the difference between before and after?
The Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau optimizes and integrates the current price items of assisted reproductive medical services in our province into 12 projects, and public medical institutions to carry out assisted reproductive medical services are charged according to these 12 items, and other medical service price items are not allowed to be charged, which standardizes the charging behavior of medical institutions to carry out assisted reproductive medical services.
Based on the results of the cost survey, our bureau comprehensively considers the city's economic and social development level, medical service capacity of medical institutions, medical service needs of the masses, medical insurance fund affordability and other factors to formulate government guidance prices for 12 projects and implement provincial benchmark prices. Public medical institutions shall charge fees in accordance with the government's guidance price, and the price shall not be increased during implementation, and there is no limit to the reduction.
Compared with the current situation, the price of the project has risen and fallen, and the total medical cost of the 12 assisted reproductive medical service projects after pricing has decreased by about 1,725 yuan, a decrease of about 9%.

At present, the proportion of outpatient medical expenses for infertility assisted reproductive technology treatment within the scope of the policy shall be implemented with reference to the hospitalization standard. According to the regulations, the current medical institutions that provide assisted reproductive technology treatment in our city are all tertiary hospitals, and the proportion of medical insurance payment for employees is 87%, and the proportion of medical insurance payment for residents is 85%.

Yes, according to the provisions of the city's documents, the outpatient medical expenses for infertility assisted reproductive technology treatment belong to the reference door guarantee of assisted reproductive technology, and other items are implemented according to the provisions of basic medical insurance.
Eight assisted reproductive treatment items such as "egg retrieval" will be added to the scope of basic medical insurance payment. For the insured to carry out infertility assisted reproductive technology treatment in the outpatient clinic, with reference to the management of specific diseases in the second-class outpatient clinic, the medical expenses incurred in the tertiary medical institutions that are included in the scope of medical insurance payment shall be reimbursed by residents and employees for 85% and 87% respectively. Among them, the maximum payment limit of employee medical insurance is 20,000 yuan, and the maximum payment limit of resident medical insurance is 16,000 yuan.
The implementation of this policy will effectively alleviate the financial burden of families such as fertility difficulties and help them realize their "childbearing dreams" as soon as possible
