Frequently Asked Questions
Help you take the next step with clear, actionable answers.
Talk to Our Care Team →What payment methods are available?
We support multiple international payment methods:
Wire transfer (TT)
Major international credit cards (Visa / Mastercard / UnionPay)
Some Alipay/WeChat Pay cross-border versions
Supports settlement in multiple currencies including USD, EUR, and GBP.
What is the approximate cost range? Could you provide a reference range?
This depends on the specific circumstances. Factors such as the type of illness, the condition, the chosen treatment plan, and the standard of living will all affect the final cost. However, compared to equivalent services in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Singapore, it is generally possible to save at least 40%-60%.
Can I use the commercial medical insurance I purchased in China?
That depends on the type of insurance policy you hold.
International premium medical insurance (such as Bupa, Cigna, AXA, Allianz, etc.): Some policies support global medical treatment. We can assist you in communicating with the insurance company to obtain pre-authorization and verify the scope of coverage.
Domestic insurance only: It usually does not cover overseas medical treatment, but we can provide detailed medical invoices and translated medical records so that you can apply for partial reimbursement from your insurance company yourself.
Recommendation: Before coming to China, please provide us with your insurance information, and we will assist you with a feasibility assessment free of charge.
What are the specific payment models for medical tourism?
Our charges follow the principle of "transparent itemization and advance estimation":
Medical expenses: Payment will be made directly according to the hospital's official standards; TRISANA MEDGUIDE will not add any markup. This includes registration fees, examination fees, surgery fees, medication fees, and hospitalization fees, and the hospital will issue official invoices.
Service Fees: TRISANA MEDGUIDE charges a one-stop service fee, which covers medical record translation, remote consultation organization, visa assistance, airport pick-up and drop-off, full-process escort and translation, postoperative nursing coordination, and follow-up after departure. A detailed breakdown will be provided before signing the contract.
Payment process: The typical model is "estimated quote → contract signing and service fee payment → payment of medical expenses based on actual hospital bills after arrival in China" to ensure fund security.
Will someone pick me up from the airport after I arrive in China? How is accommodation arranged?
TRISANA MEDGUIDE provides full-service "door-to-door" service:
A designated person will meet you at the airport with a sign and then take you to your accommodation by private car.
Accommodation can be arranged according to client needs: hospital-partnered rehabilitation apartments (for convenient postoperative care), five-star hotels, serviced apartments with kitchens, etc. All accommodations have been inspected in advance to ensure convenient transportation to the hospital and the availability of living conditions necessary for postoperative recovery.
How do I apply for a medical tourism visa to China?
For medical treatment in China, an S2 visa (short-term private business visa) or an M visa (business visa) is typically required. Citizens of some countries may enjoy visa-free entry. Our services include:
Provide an official invitation letter and appointment confirmation letter from a top-tier hospital.
Assistance with preparing visa application materials checklist
Guidance or assistance in submitting visa applications
Coordinate expedited processing channels (subject to embassy/consulate policy)
With all required documents, the visa processing time is typically 5-10 business days.
Can I bring an accompanying person when I come to China for medical tourism?
Of course. We encourage patients to bring at least one family member with them, as this helps stabilize the patient's emotions and facilitates postoperative care. We can also assist with the following arrangements for family members:
Visa assistance for accompanying persons
Accommodation arrangements (shared accommodation with the patient in a serviced apartment or a nearby hotel)
Routine translation and life assistance
Customized arrangements are also available for business trips or light sightseeing.
How long does it usually take from contacting the patient to final hospital admission?
It depends on the urgency of the disease.
For routine critical care/surgery: if all the data is complete, a remote consultation can be completed within 1-2 weeks, and an in-person consultation and hospital admission can be arranged in China.
Emergency cases: An express channel will be opened, and patients can be arranged to come to China for hospitalization within 3-5 working days at the fastest.
High-end health check-up: Appointments can be made one week in advance.
Organ transplantation: The waiting time depends on the donor matching situation. China's organ allocation system is open and fair, and the waiting period is usually much shorter than that in European and American countries.
What is medical tourism? Why would someone travel overseas for serious medical treatment?
Medical tourism is a health consumption model that combines high-quality overseas medical resources with travel services. Patients typically choose cross-border medical treatment based on the following considerations:
Shorter waiting times: In many developed countries, public healthcare systems have long waiting times (such as 6-12 weeks for cancer surgery), while in China, patients can be admitted quickly through a green channel.
Greater cost-effectiveness: For the same quality medical services, the cost in China is usually only one-third of that in Europe and the United States, or even lower.
Accessibility to cutting-edge technologies: China is among the world's leaders in fields such as da Vinci robotic surgery, CAR-T cell therapy, minimally invasive surgery, and proton and heavy ion therapy. Some of these technologies are already mature and applied domestically but have not yet become widespread overseas.
One-stop comprehensive solution: Some complex cases require multidisciplinary team (MDT) treatment, and China's top tertiary hospitals have the advantage of this centralized collaboration.
Why choose China as your medical tourism destination?
The strength of China's healthcare system: China's GDP ranks second in the world, and its medical industry has achieved leapfrog development. Top hospitals such as Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Fudan University Cancer Hospital, and Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital have joined the ranks of the world's first-class hospitals.
Extensive clinical experience: Chinese doctors perform a large number of surgeries and cover a wide range of diseases, and are highly experienced in handling difficult and complex cases .
Belt and Road Health Cooperation: China has built a health community with 156 countries, and more than 1.2 million international friends choose to come to China for medical treatment every year.
Advantages of combining Chinese and Western medicine: Postoperative rehabilitation can incorporate traditional Chinese medicine therapies such as herbal treatment, acupuncture, and massage to accelerate recovery.
How should I choose a cross-border medical tourism service provider?
When choosing a service provider, we recommend considering the following points:
Authenticity of hospital resources: Whether there is an official or in-depth green channel cooperation with top-tier tertiary hospitals in China, rather than just nominal cooperation.
Service team professionalism: Does the service team include professional medical translators, general practitioner consultants, nursing teams, and legal support?
Full-process closed-loop capability: From pre-entry medical assessment, visa processing, and remote consultation, to post-entry accompaniment and care, hospitalization coordination, post-operative rehabilitation, and even post-departure follow-up, can it provide one-stop coverage?
Price transparency: Can a detailed list be provided to avoid hidden fees?
What is the entire medical tourism process like?
Taking Sanshan Medical Companion as an example, the standard procedure is divided into three stages:
Before entry: Medical record translation and pre-screening → Remote multidisciplinary consultation → Customized treatment plan → Cost estimation → Visa assistance → Itinerary planning.
Upon arrival in China: Airport pick-up by a dedicated person → Check-in arrangements → Green channel consultation → Hospitalization/surgery/treatment → Postoperative rehabilitation care → Full-time translator accompaniment.
After leaving the country: Receive a detailed home rehabilitation plan → Remote follow-up → Medication prescription renewal → Arrange follow-up visits or international referrals if necessary.
