Language support
Very large hospital. The international department usually means shorter waits and a higher registration fee, but Beijing public hospitals — international departments included — do not provide interpreters (our coordination experience, Sep 2026). China MedPass interprets at every visit.

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.

    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

    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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can international patients access 301 Hospital?
Yes. The International Medical Center handles English documentation and senior-physician access; we provide bilingual escort throughout the case.

Despite its name, it operates as a civilian general hospital alongside its military role. International patients are welcome and routinely seen — there is no military-clearance requirement for civilian medical care.
Will I get an English report?
Yes — every consultation, imaging or surgical evaluation we coordinate includes a structured English report.
Can you arrange a multi-specialty review of my complex case?
Yes — this is one of the hospital's strengths. We coordinate a written case summary that goes to the relevant teams in advance, then a structured review with senior representatives from each specialty involved.
