China Market Expansion: NHSA Pilots Third-Generation IVF (PGT) Insurance Coverage in Top Tier Cities

Written By camellia chen

(Policy Analysis) The National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) has announced a groundbreaking pilot program in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen to partially cover Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-M/SR) for families with documented hereditary conditions. Set to begin in Q2 2026, this policy upgrades the existing standard IVF coverage by subsidizing the highly expensive genetic screening phase for eligible couples.

  • Business Insight: This is a monumental shift for the high-end fertility sector. By lowering the out-of-pocket barrier for Third-Generation IVF, patient volume for complex genetic screening will skyrocket. For CMTF exhibitors in the genomics and sequencing sectors, this signals a massive incoming wave of hospital procurement. B2B suppliers should rapidly scale their NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) kits and bioinformatics software tailored to the Chinese public hospital system.
