Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a comprehensive health checkup in China cost?
Our packages range from $399 for the Essential tier to $699 for the Premium tier. Both are conducted at Grade 3A hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen — typically 70-80% less than equivalent screening in the US or UK.
Are Grade 3A hospitals in China safe for international patients?
Yes. Grade 3A is China's highest hospital tier, equivalent to top US academic medical centers. They use the same world-class equipment (Siemens, Philips, GE) and meet strict national hygiene and quality standards.
What does the 4-hour comprehensive checkup actually include?
The Essential tier covers liver/kidney function, blood lipids, blood sugar, and full abdominal ultrasound. The Premium tier adds low-dose spiral CT (lung cancer screening), advanced cardiac enzymes, and expanded tumor markers. Both finish in 4-5 hours.
Are the reviewing doctors qualified specialists?
Yes. Every report is analyzed by Professor-level specialists at our partner Grade 3A hospitals. These are senior attendings with academic appointments, not junior staff. Reports are double-checked before delivery.
Will I receive an English-language medical report?
Yes. Your full medical report is professionally translated to English by our medical translation team and double-checked by a clinician. It is delivered digitally within 2–3 weeks of your appointment.
How long does the actual appointment take on the day?
Just 4-5 hours total. Check-in at 8 AM, finish by early afternoon — leaving you free for sightseeing the same day. No GP referral needed; we handle all hospital coordination in advance.
Is this checkup suitable for travelers over 60 or with family history?
Yes — we recommend the Premium tier for anyone over 35, smokers, or those with a family history of chronic illness. It includes low-dose CT for early lung nodules and an expanded tumor marker panel that the Essential tier does not.
What happens if the checkup finds something abnormal?
Your report flags any abnormal findings with Professor-level interpretation and follow-up recommendations. We can also help coordinate further consultations or specialist visits at the same Grade 3A hospital if you wish.
Can I get this checkup using China's 240-hour visa-free transit?
Yes. The full checkup fits comfortably within the 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit window, since on-site time is just one morning. Many nationalities also qualify for China's 30-day unilateral visa-free entry, with no onward-ticket requirement. We provide an official booking confirmation you can use for transit documentation if needed.
Do I need to fast before the checkup, and what about GP referral?
Yes, fast 8 hours before your appointment (water OK). No GP referral is required — our packages include all coordination with the Grade 3A hospital. We email full pre-visit instructions immediately after booking.
