The queue for IVF

For many couples, the only way to become parents is through in vitro fertilization. By itself, this procedure is quite expensive. Therefore, the government of many countries introduces different kinds of quotas for the use of this type of assisted reproductive technology. So, for example, the citizens of Russia on the basis of the decision of 2012 and the order of the Ministry of Health have the opportunity to receive IVF services on a no-cost basis.

As for Ukraine, the program for artificial insemination on a budgetary basis exists, but funding for it is temporarily suspended. Let's consider in more detail the conditions for obtaining the possibility of free in vitro fertilization.

What is necessary to get an IVF free of charge?

In order to get on the queue for IVF, today it is enough for a woman to have an OMS, which is the basis for registration. The thing is that since recently infertility refers to insurance cases. Therefore, the payment of expenses for conceiving, in this case, in vitro fertilization, falls on the shoulders of the insurance company.

If you specifically talk about how to get on the queue for IVF for free, then a woman is sufficient to fulfill the following conditions:

1. Availability of compulsory health insurance policy. You can issue an insurance document in any insurance agency.
2. Presence of medical indications for carrying out IVF, documented. The conclusion about the necessity of carrying out the procedure is issued by the doctor, after which a commission is created, which, in fact, makes the decision, directing to the ECO on a quota.
3. The age of a woman who is an applicant for an artificial insemination procedure should be 22-39 years.
4. Obligatory absence of contraindications to receiving the procedure.

As a rule, the choice of the clinic remains for the most future mother. After registering in one of them, the woman gets in the queue.

What is included in the cost of the benefits?

After the queue for the quota allocated for IVF is available, the woman comes to the chosen medical center. At the same time, the future mother receives only a subsidy in a certain amount. In those cases when additional protocols are required by the IVF protocol, the cost of which exceeds the preferential limit, the difference will have to be paid out of personal funds.

As a rule, the amount provided for the ECO order covers:

• hormonal stimulation;
• cost of sampling of germ cells;
• the very procedure of fertilization;
• transfer of embryos to the uterus.

How to queue for IVF?

To obtain the status of spouses "waiting for services for in vitro fertilization," you need:

1. Contact the family planning center for a comprehensive examination and documenting the diagnosis of "infertility."
2. Get the MHI policy or re-arrange it if necessary for a single insurance.
3. Complete the full course of treatment, which is appointed by the doctor.
4. Get a document in which there is a conclusion about the impossibility of therapy or its inefficiency.
5. Choose a clinic and arrange the documents.

In order not to waste time visiting the medical center, many institutions conduct an electronic queue for IVF on CHI. After preliminary registration and approval of the application, the future mother must submit all necessary documents. After this, there is a long waiting period.

To find out how the queue moves to IVF by quota, a woman can visit the family planning center she has chosen. It is worth noting that this kind of procedure is planned in advance. Therefore, the potential mother will be informed about the imminent IVF in advance. Based on the statistical data, the waiting interval for the procedure can be from 4-6 months to 1 year.
