Questions about the rules

Before you book

The questions everyone asks.

Do I need a Chinese ID or phone number?

No. We book with your passport.

Can't I just book it myself?

You can. Here is what it takes.

Will my insurance cover it?

Often. And we deal with your insurer.

Who do I pay, and when?

Our fee when you confirm. The hospital directly, for care.

What if it costs more?

You see the hospital's price before anything is done.

Can I get a second opinion?

Yes, at another top public hospital.

Who comes with me?

A medical interpreter from our vetted team.

Can I keep my records?

Yes. We make sure you leave with them.

Do you give medical advice?

No. We get you to the right doctor.

Before you book

Do I need a Chinese ID or phone number?

Most hospital booking apps and kiosks ask for a Chinese ID card or a mainland phone number. We book for you through the hospital's international department or by phone, using your passport, and tell you which window or desk to go to on the day.

Let's find your specialist.

Tell us what's going on. We'll show you where we'd likely book you, and a person takes it from there.

In an emergency, call 120. We book visits; we don't give medical advice.
