Questions

What people ask before they come

Is it safe to get treatment in China?

We only work with Grade 3A public teaching hospitals and well-reviewed licensed clinics. These hospitals treat millions of patients a year with the same equipment brands used in the US. We are in the room with you, so nothing gets lost in translation.

Do I need a visa?

Many nationalities can now enter China visa-free for short stays, and US, UK and Canadian citizens can often use 240-hour visa-free transit. We check your situation and provide an invitation letter if you need a visa.

How do I pay the hospital?

You pay the hospital directly, by international card or through Alipay or WeChat Pay, which we set up with you. You pay our coordination fee to us, by card, before bookings are made.

What if something goes wrong after I’m home?

We stay your contact with the hospital. We relay questions to your doctor, arrange remote follow-ups, and send your translated records to your doctor at home.
