Checked on the official website

  • The clinical laboratory is accredited to ISO 15189 and ISO 17043 — this applies to the laboratory, not to the hospital as a whole.
  • The health check centre is a regular in-hospital department; check-up tests are performed in the hospital rather than sent out.

From our coordination experience

What we have seen arranging visits here (as of September 2026). Release windows and fees change — hospital charges apply.

  • Laboratory tests cover every item in Beijing's mutual-recognition list for test results.

Before Your Visit

What to bring
  • Your original passport — registration is real-name
  • Previous records in their original language (we translate)
  • Original imaging files (DICOM), not screenshots
  • A current medication list with doses
  • Your insurance card and approval letter, if the insurer is paying
International insurance

Hospitals with an international department can often bill international insurers directly. It depends on your insurer and policy — most mainstream international plans are accepted. Your insurer usually has to approve the visit first, and your deductible and any excluded items remain yours. We check with the hospital before you travel.

Payment

Public hospitals charge before each test or consultation. Hospital fees are passed on at cost with the hospital's receipt; we take no commission from hospitals or doctors.

Emergencies

Outpatient and international clinics are not emergency services. In an emergency in China, call 120 or go straight to a hospital emergency department.

Why Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Matters

Chaoyang Hospital is China's National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases and led the country's clinical response to SARS in 2003 and COVID-19 in 2020. Its pulmonology team is widely regarded — alongside China-Japan Friendship — as one of the country's top two respiratory programmes. Particular strengths include pulmonary embolism, severe pneumonia, interstitial lung disease (ILD), and pulmonary hypertension. The ICU is one of Beijing's most experienced ECMO centres.

How China MedPass Helps (Typical Pathway)

  1. 1

    Case review

    You share your records (existing imaging, lab results, a short problem summary) in their original language. We translate and summarise them and identify the right department and specialist.

  2. 2

    Hospital & specialist matching

    We match you to the hospital and senior-attending-level specialist whose expertise actually fits your specific clinical question — not a generic outpatient slot.

    On-site bilingual escort

    Your local coordinator meets you at the hospital, handles registration and communication in Mandarin, attends the consultation with you, and makes sure nothing gets lost in translation.

  5. 5

    Report translation & DICOM collection

    We deliver a structured English summary of the hospital's reports plus your DICOM imaging files by secure download, ready for your home doctor.

  6. 6

    Follow-up coordination

    30-day follow-up window — we coordinate clarifications with the hospital, optional physician-to-physician calls, and any additional documentation your home team requests.
