How much does it cost to check the six endocrine hormones

The cost of six endocrine hormone tests is generally between 200 yuan and 500 yuan, and the actual price is affected by factors such as the level of the testing institution, regional consumption level, testing methods, project combination, and whether medical insurance reimbursement is available.

1. Institution level:

Third tier hospitals usually charge higher fees than community hospitals. Due to high equipment accuracy and abundant expert resources, the price of individual testing in tertiary hospitals may increase by 30% -50%; Most primary healthcare institutions offer basic testing packages at relatively affordable prices, but the items may be charged separately.

2. Regional differences:

The testing costs in first tier cities are generally 20% -40% higher than those in third - and fourth tier cities. In economically developed areas, labor costs and equipment maintenance expenses are relatively high. For example, when some hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai use chemiluminescence detection, the total cost may exceed 600 yuan.

3. Detection technology:

Radioimmunoassay has a lower price but limited sensitivity, while enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is in the middle. Chemiluminescence method has the highest accuracy but the cost of a single detection can differ by 2-3 times. Some institutions will indicate the price list differences caused by differences in testing methods.

4. Project portfolio:

The combination of the basic six items FSH, LH, PRL, E2, P, T and extension items such as HCG and AMH will affect the total price. The price for individual testing of follicle stimulating hormone or testosterone ranges from 80 to 150 yuan, while package testing usually offers a 15% -25% discount.

5. Medical insurance policy:

Fertility related hormone tests can be reimbursed 50% -70% by medical insurance in some provinces and cities, with a self funded portion of about 100-200 yuan. The reimbursement rate for metabolic hormone testing such as thyroid function is relatively low, and it is necessary to confirm in advance the coverage of the local medical insurance catalog.

It is recommended to choose an empty stomach blood test from 8-10 am in the morning to ensure the accuracy of the results, and avoid vigorous exercise and high-fat diet for the first 3 days before the examination. Women should pay attention to the impact of menstrual cycle on hormone levels, and it is usually recommended to test for basal hormones on the 2nd to 5th day of menstruation. Some institutions offer online appointment discounts or group medical examination package discounts, which can be compared in advance through official channels. If the test results are abnormal, it is necessary to have a comprehensive evaluation by an endocrinologist based on clinical symptoms, and if necessary, re examination or supplementation of thyroid function, glucose metabolism and other related examinations.
