Foreign patients come to Beijing Children's Hospital — 北京儿童医院 — mostly for paediatric internal medicine and paediatric surgery. You book under the name in your passport, and the hospital does not provide interpreters — in our coordination experience, not even at its international department. China MedPass books the right senior specialist, interprets for you on site and sends an English summary afterwards.

  • Beijing Children's Hospital is China's National Center for Children's Health.

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.

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.

  3. 3

    Appointment booking

    We secure the appointment, send you a preparation pack covering documents, payment, what to bring, and confirm the bilingual escort schedule.

  4. 4

    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.

Yes. Paediatric MRI under sedation is a standard service at this hospital; the imaging team is highly experienced with infants and young children.
How long does it take to get a paediatric specialist appointment?
Often arranged within days for international patients, depending on hospital availability and clinical suitability. For multidisciplinary reviews, we typically need 1-2 weeks of lead time.
How much does coordination cost?
Coordination from $250 for imaging; from $450 for a specialist consultation; from $400 for a written second opinion. Hospital fees are paid directly and quoted in advance.
