Thailand Jetanin Hospital Cost: Breakdown and Reference Range 2025

===== Content Start =====

10-year Consultant Cost Reference 2025

Direct Answer: The medical cost for a complete IVF cycle (excluding embryo genetic testing) at Thailand's Jetanin Hospital ranges from approximately 80,000 to 120,000 RMB. If PGT-A or PGT-M testing is included, the total cost typically falls between 120,000 and 180,000 RMB. The exact amount varies depending on the medication protocol, drug brand, patient age and ovarian reserve, and whether additional assisted techniques (such as assisted hatching or hysteroscopy) are needed. The following breaks down the cost structure, influencing factors, and common details from three dimensions.

===== 1. Cost Breakdown =====

I. Cost Breakdown: Where Each Penny Goes

Jetanin Hospital's fee items are broken down according to the standard assisted reproduction process, mainly including the following six sections. All prices are settled in Thai Baht. The conversion below uses 1 THB ≈ 0.20 RMB. Actual payment is based on the daily exchange rate.

1. Basic Examination and Registration Fees

Before starting the cycle, both parties need to complete: Female hormone panel (FSH, LH, E2), Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), Antral Follicle Count (AFC), thyroid function, infectious disease screening (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Syphilis, HIV); Male semen analysis, sperm morphology, infectious disease screening; Chromosomal karyotype analysis for both (valid long-term). The total cost for the full set of examinations is approximately 5,000–8,000 RMB. Some tests (like hormones, AMH) have an expiration date; it is recommended to complete them within 3 months before starting the cycle.

2. Ovulation Induction Medication Costs

Ovulation induction drugs are the most variable part of the cost. Imported recombinant FSH (Gonal-f, Puregon) has a higher unit price. Based on a standard dose (approximately 150–300 IU/day), the total medication cost is about 25,000–45,000 RMB. If domestic urinary gonadotropins or some biosimilars are chosen, the medication cost can be reduced to 12,000–20,000 RMB. Jetanin Hospital primarily uses imported drugs by default. The doctor adjusts the starting dose based on AMH, FSH, age, and ovarian response history.

3. Egg Retrieval Surgery and Embryo Culture

Includes: Egg retrieval surgery fee (with intravenous anesthesia), laboratory oocyte collection and assessment, conventional IVF fertilization or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), embryo culture to day 5/6 (blastocyst). This part costs approximately 35,000–50,000 RMB. If the male partner has severely abnormal sperm quality requiring additional ICSI (usually included in the package) or Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA), extra fees apply.

4. Embryo Transfer Costs

Fresh cycle transfer costs approximately 12,000–18,000 RMB; Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) costs about 15,000–20,000 RMB (including endometrial preparation, hormone monitoring, transfer procedure). If Assisted Hatching (AH) is used, an additional 2,000–3,000 RMB is added.

5. Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

PGT-A (aneuploidy screening) costs approximately 3,000–5,000 RMB per embryo, and PGT-M (monogenic disease testing) costs about 4,500–6,500 RMB per embryo. Based on biopsying 5–8 embryos, the total PGT cost increases by 25,000–50,000 RMB. Suitable for: Advanced maternal age (≥38 years), recurrent implantation failure, recurrent miscarriage, known carriers of genetic diseases.

6. Other Potential Costs

• Embryo Freezing and Storage: Initial freezing fee (including 1 year storage) is about 3,000–5,000 RMB; renewal is approximately 1,500–2,500 RMB per year.
• Hysteroscopy: If uterine cavity abnormalities are suspected (polyps, adhesions, fibroids), examination + treatment costs about 3,000–6,000 RMB.
• Sperm Freezing: If the male partner needs to collect and freeze sperm in advance, the cost is about 1,000–2,000 RMB.
• Translation and Living Assistance: The hospital does not mandate a translator, but most foreign patients arrange one through an agency or intermediary, with fees settled separately.

===== 2. Influencing Factors =====

II. Core Factors Affecting Cost

▎ Patient Age and Ovarian Reserve

Age directly affects the ovaries' response to ovulation induction drugs. AMH < 1.2 ng/mL, FSH > 10 mIU/mL, or Antral Follicle Count < 6, usually requires higher doses of ovulation induction drugs, potentially increasing medication costs by 30%–50%. Women over 40 have a higher cycle cancellation rate. If repeated egg retrievals are needed to accumulate embryos, the total cost increases significantly. Therefore, when is the cost significantly higher? — Advanced age combined with diminished ovarian reserve, or the need for multiple egg retrieval cycles.

▎ Ovulation Induction Protocol and Drug Choice

The antagonist protocol (commonly used) and the long protocol have little difference in total drug amount, but the long protocol has a slightly higher down-regulation cost. The price difference between imported and domestic drugs can be 2–3 times. Doctors at Jetanin Hospital usually provide options based on the patient's hormone levels and financial situation, without mandatory recommendations. Patients can clearly state their medication budget during the initial consultation.

▎ Whether to Undergo Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

PGT is the largest single additional cost item. When is PGT suitable? Female age ≥38 years, recurrent implantation failure (≥3 times), recurrent miscarriage (≥2 times), known chromosomal abnormalities or monogenic diseases. Unsuitable situations: low embryo count (<3 embryos available for biopsy), only needing conventional IVF without genetic risk. The doctor will assess the feasibility of biopsy based on the number and development of embryos.

▎ Number of Treatment Cycles

If the first transfer does not result in pregnancy and frozen embryos are available, subsequent FET costs are about 15,000–20,000 RMB per cycle, making cumulative costs manageable. If no frozen embryos are available and a new egg retrieval is needed, the entire cycle cost is repeated. Therefore, how to determine how much budget you need? — It is recommended to plan financially for 1.5 complete cycles while reserving backup funds for frozen embryo transfers.

===== 4. Easily Overlooked Details =====

IV. 5 Most Easily Overlooked Cost Details

• No Refund for Unused Medication: Ovulation induction drugs are dispensed in whole vials/boxes. The actual amount used may be less than a whole vial, but the hospital generally does not refund the unused portion. Discuss with your doctor to match dosage sizes as closely as possible.
• Exchange Rate Fluctuation Impact: The annual fluctuation of the Thai Baht against the RMB can be 5%–10%. The payment period spans 1–2 months, and exchange rate changes can cause a difference of several thousand RMB. Consider exchanging currency in batches or monitoring exchange rate windows.
• Forgotten Frozen Embryo Storage Renewal: The initial freezing includes 1 year of storage. If not renewed upon expiration and no waiver is signed, the hospital may charge daily fees or late fees. Set an annual reminder.
• Additional Test Overruns: Some external test reports (e.g., chromosomes, infectious diseases) may be rejected if expired or not in the required format, requiring retesting at a cost of 500–2,000 RMB. Confirm report requirements in advance.
• Cycle Cancellation Loss: If a cycle is cancelled during stimulation due to poor ovarian response, the medication and monitoring fees already incurred are non-refundable, resulting in a loss of approximately 10,000–20,000 RMB. The doctor assesses cancellation risk before starting, but it cannot be completely avoided.

V. High-Frequency Cost-Related Questions

===== 6. Process and Timeline =====

VI. Cost-Related Process and Timeline

A complete IVF cycle (from initial consultation to transfer) typically takes 25–35 days (excluding preliminary examinations). The timeline for cost incurrence is as follows:

• Days 1–3: Initial consultation, hormone tests, AMH, ultrasound. Pay approximately 3,000–5,000 RMB.
• Days 4–14: Ovulation induction phase. Pay medication fees in 2–3 installments (adjustments based on actual usage, but in whole vials).
• Days 15–17: Egg retrieval surgery, ICSI, embryo culture. Pay approximately 35,000–50,000 RMB.
• Days 20–25: Embryo transfer (fresh cycle). Pay approximately 12,000–18,000 RMB.
• If doing PGT: After embryo biopsy and sending for testing, the testing fee is paid before the transfer, charged per embryo.

How much preparation time is needed? — It is recommended to complete tests with longer validity, such as chromosomes and infectious diseases for both partners, 2–3 months in advance to avoid delays due to expired reports.

===== 7. Practitioner's Observation =====

VII. Practitioner's Observation: Real-World Issues in Cost Management

Based on actual patient cases, cost overruns mainly occur in two areas: ovulation induction drug dosage exceeding expectations and multiple egg retrieval cycles. For some patients with low AMH or delayed ovarian response, the doctor increases the drug dosage, pushing the total medication cost over budget. Additionally, choosing PGT or hysteroscopy after recurrent implantation failure is a common reason for additional costs.

From the doctor's decision-making logic, choosing a more expensive medication protocol is not always better. For patients with normal ovarian function, there is no significant difference in live birth rates between standard doses of imported and domestic drugs. Doctors focus more on FSH threshold and LH levels than on drug brands. Patients can discuss with their doctor: "Can we prioritize more affordable ovulation induction drugs while ensuring effectiveness?" — This is feasible at Jetanin Hospital.

===== 8. Special Situations =====

VIII. Cost Considerations for Special Populations

▎ Advanced Maternal Age (≥40 years)

Older patients have a higher rate of oocyte aneuploidy, increasing the medical necessity of PGT testing, but the number of embryos may be low. It is recommended to budget for PGT costs and be mentally and financially prepared for the possibility of multiple egg retrieval cycles.

▎ Poor Ovarian Response (POR)

Patients meeting Bologna criteria (AMH < 0.5, AFC < 5, FSH > 12) typically yield ≤3 oocytes per cycle. Consider Natural Cycle IVF or Mild Stimulation protocols. Medication costs are reduced by about 40%–60%, but the cycle cancellation rate is higher. Cumulative costs are similar to conventional stimulation, but the risk per cycle is lower.

▎ Genetic Disease Carriers

Families requiring PGT-M testing should first complete genetic counseling and gene probe preparation (about 1–2 months, costing approximately 10,000–20,000 RMB). The total cost (including PGT-M) is typically between 150,000 and 220,000 RMB. Suitable for: Individuals confirmed to carry a pathogenic gene and wishing to have healthy offspring. Unsuitable for: Those without a clearly identified pathogenic gene or unclear inheritance pattern.
