Treatment
China (total)
USA reference
These are reference ranges, not quotes. Before you commit to anything, we obtain a written line-item estimate from the hospital for your specific case — that number is the one that counts. Complications, ICU care and targeted drugs are not included; see unexpected costs below.
How to read these prices
Schedule entries are per-item prices — one scan, one night, one procedure — not treatment totals. A hospital bill is a stack of these lines.
Prices vary slightly by city and hospital tier. The ranges shown reflect the government-regulated spread, and you pay the hospital's own rate with no markup from us.
What can cost extra
Doctor consultation fees, ward accommodation, medications, implants and special materials are billed as separate lines.
Complications, ICU care and targeted drugs are the big variables — we explain them under unexpected costs below.
Understanding unexpected costs
Medical treatment does not always go to plan. These are the costs that can appear unexpectedly, and that we want you to know about before you travel.
ICU and extended hospital stays
If complications require intensive care, ICU daily costs in Chinese international departments typically range from about $800 to $2,500 per day, on top of the planned procedure. We help you confirm whether your insurance or deposit covers this.
Complications and re-operation
A small percentage of procedures require a second intervention. This is rare but real, and the additional cost is billed by the hospital, not by us. We disclose this in writing before you commit.
Targeted drugs and imported implants
Some cancer targeted therapies and imported orthopedic implants are not included in a base quote and can add $2,000 to $30,000 or more. We request a written line-item estimate from the hospital before you approve anything.
Our honest position
We are not a hospital or a clinic
MedicalToChina is an independent medical travel information and patient coordination service. We do not employ physicians and we do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Zero marked-up medical fees
We do not add a margin to your hospital bill. You pay the hospital's own official international department rate, the same price a local patient would see. Our fee is a transparent service package, billed separately and shown to you in writing before you pay.
Independent editorial, no paid placements
Hospital listings are based on public accreditation data and our own research, not on referral commissions. We disclose how we make money on our About page.
Medical disclaimer
Nothing on this page is medical advice. Always consult a licensed physician before making decisions about diagnosis, treatment, or travel for care.
No outcome guarantees
We never promise specific medical results. Outcomes depend on your condition and your doctors, not on us. Any service that guarantees a result is not being honest with you.
Your data, your control
We only share your medical records with hospitals you choose, and only with your consent. We do not sell your data, and we do not pass it to third parties for marketing.
Get a written, line-item estimate
Tell us your diagnosis and preferred city. We request an official quote from the hospital's international department — in writing, before you commit to anything.
My estimate list
Line-item subtotal
Some items have no listed price and are excluded from the subtotal.
This is a subtotal of schedule line items only — a real treatment usually adds ward stay, medications and consumables. Send us the list and we'll return a complete written estimate.
