They Walked This Path Before You

Amy
United Kingdom · Age 32

Stomach pain for 2 years. Her NHS GP dismissed her. She flew to Beijing — gastroscopy the next morning, two polyps found and removed. Biopsy: benign. 13 days total.

"Two years of fear. Two weeks in China. I have my life back."
~£1,466 all-in (vs £3,700+ UK private)
M
Malka
United States · Self-pay

Digestive issues for 2 months. Her doctor kept postponing the referral. In China, she completed a full gastroscopy with accompaniment — diagnosis, treatment, and medication — for ¥1,364.

"I spent two months worrying. In China, I spent one afternoon getting answers."
¥1,364 (~$188) total

Liz
United States · Boston

Needed an MRI. Even with insurance, her out-of-pocket would exceed $2,000. She did the math: Boston–Guangzhou round-trip, 5 hotel, and MRI — $1,730 total. Came back with results and vacation photos.

"I got a vacation and a medical scan for less than my insurance co-pay."

Before You Fly

5 Things You Need to Prepare

Valid Passport

At least 6 months remaining validity. If you need to renew, start early — we'll time your visa application around it.

We provide the invitation letter and hospital confirmation. You fill in a simple form — we review before submission.

Medication List

Current prescriptions with generic names. We'll check for travel restrictions and China availability in advance.

Questions You Might Have

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I need to stay in China?+

Most treatments require 7–14 days: 1–2 days for consultation, 3–7 days for the procedure and initial recovery, then 7+ days of recuperation before flying home. Your specialist will confirm the timeline during the video consultation.

Can my family come with me? What will they do?+

Absolutely — and we encourage it. Your companion stays at the same hotel at our negotiated rate. During your treatment, they can explore Shanghai through our travel packages — from city tours to Chinese Medicine (TCM) wellness experiences. They'll never be stranded.

What if complications arise after I return home?+

Your original care team provides scheduled video follow-ups, wound photo review, and medication guidance. We also hand over a complete English medical package to your local GP — so they know exactly what was done and what to watch for.

When and how do I pay?+

Payment is milestone-based: a booking service fee to confirm your plan, the majority upon arrival at the hospital, and the balance before discharge — settled against actual costs. No hidden fees. You'll receive an itemised estimate before you travel.

See our full Payment & Refund Policy →

Can I use my insurance or get reimbursed?+

It depends on the clinic type. Most public hospital international departments do not accept international insurance — payment is typically out-of-pocket at time of service. Many private international clinics, however, do accept direct billing from major global insurers including Cigna, Aetna, Bupa, and Allianz. Contact us before you travel and we'll check which partner clinics are in your insurer's network — and give you an honest, no-pressure comparison of your options. Either way, we provide fully itemised English-language invoices, operative reports, and discharge summaries to support any reimbursement claim. Even self-paying in China is often less than your home deductible.

What about the language barrier?+

You won't face it alone. A multilingual coordinator (EN / ZH / RU / AR / ES) accompanies you to every appointment. Your specialist will either speak English or have a medical interpreter present. All records, reports, and handover documents are provided in English.

How is this different from arranging everything myself?+

Without us, you'd need to: find and vet a hospital, navigate Chinese medical systems alone, arrange your own visa, book flights and hotels, source a translator for every appointment, and coordinate post-treatment follow-up across time zones — all from abroad. With us, all of this is handled by one coordinating team. You focus on healing.
