How prices work
Prices are set by the hospitals, not by us. Chinese hospitals set their own fees, within government price rules for public hospitals. We have no influence over them and cannot negotiate discounts.
Prices can change. Hospital fees, drug prices and exchange rates change. The figures on this site are estimates gathered from public sources such as government price lists, official drug prices and news reports, and were last checked in November 2026.
We take no commission. We are not paid by any hospital, doctor or drug company, and we would not accept such a payment. Chinese anti-bribery rules prohibit kickbacks and paid patient referrals in healthcare, so a hospital paying us for bringing you would be against the rules.
Our fees are separate and published. You pay us only for our coordination work, at the rates on our fees page. You pay the hospital directly for medical care.
You always get a written estimate first. Before you travel or pay anything to a hospital, we ask the hospital for a written estimate based on your records. The final bill depends on your condition and treatment, and may be higher or lower.
