When will test tubes be included in medical insurance?

According to the notice issued by Beijing Medical Insurance Bureau, the assisted reproductive technology 16 commonly used in outpatient treatment, that is, part of the expenses of IVF, was included in the scope of Class A reimbursement of medical insurance, and it was officially implemented on March 26th. Beijing is the first city in China to formally include part of IVF expenses into medical insurance. At present, paid assisted reproductive technology services include intrauterine insemination, embryo transfer and sperm optimization.

On March 26th, 2022, Beijing became the first region in China to carry out in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, blastocyst culture, frozen embryo resuscitation, embryo transfer, embryo detection, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, transvaginal puncture, comprehensive evaluation of ovulation induction treatment, blastocyst/blastomere/polar body biopsy, embryo morphological evaluation, embryo monoembryogenesis diagnosis and semen freezing. There is no guarantee when other provinces will include assisted reproductive programs in medical insurance, but Beijing IVF is a good starting point. I believe that in the near future, major provinces will also actively enter the scope of medical insurance. At present, many cities are also actively preparing, such as Hunan, Sichuan, Shanghai, Shanxi and Zhejiang. You can pay attention to official news from all over the country.
