Address from the hospital's official website, checked October 2026. Large hospitals have several campuses — your appointment confirmation states which one; we tell you before you travel.
Foreign patients come to Fuwai Hospital — 中国医学科学院阜外医院 — mostly for cardiology and cardiac 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.
Fuwai Hospital is a Grade 3A (三甲) national cardiovascular centre in Xicheng District, Beijing.
What we have seen arranging visits here (as of September 2026). Release windows and fees change — hospital charges apply.
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.
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.
Outpatient and international clinics are not emergency services. In an emergency in China, call 120 or go straight to a hospital emergency department.

Fuwai — formally the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases — performs over 10,000 cardiac surgeries and 30,000 catheter-based interventions per year. It sets China's clinical guidelines for coronary, valvular and heart failure care, and individual attending surgical volumes (e.g. 800+ CABG cases per surgeon per year) substantially exceed Western counterparts. Hybrid operating rooms allow surgical and percutaneous teams to operate simultaneously — useful for high-risk and re-operative cases.
China MedPass can coordinate the following at Fuwai Hospital for international patients:
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.
We match you to the hospital and senior-attending-level specialist whose expertise actually fits your specific clinical question — not a generic outpatient slot.
We secure the appointment, send you a preparation pack covering documents, payment, what to bring, and confirm the bilingual escort schedule.
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.
We deliver a structured English summary of the hospital's reports plus your DICOM imaging files by secure download, ready for your home doctor.
30-day follow-up window — we coordinate clarifications with the hospital, optional physician-to-physician calls, and any additional documentation your home team requests.
Two cost components, no surprises:
Paid directly to Fuwai Hospital on the day of service. Amount depends on the specific imaging, consultation or procedure — quoted in writing before you travel.
