## Process for Seeking Medical Treatment in China

### Preparing for the Trip

Preparation for medical treatment in China involves several steps, including contacting medical institutions and obtaining a medical visa. It is advisable to seek assistance from international medical coordination agencies. When consulting, prepare a description of your condition, past medical records (such as reports and images), your preferred hospital, budget, and expected timeframe.

### Connecting with Medical Institutions

Coordinate with Chinese medical institutions through international medical agencies to confirm whether treatment will be accepted and to obtain detailed information about the treatment plan, timeline, and costs. Adjust your stay plans based on the information provided.

– Costs: In some cases, consulting medical institutions may incur fees.

– Time: It may take several days to receive a response from the medical institution, and processing visas might take one to two weeks, so allow sufficient time.

### Prepayment of Estimated Treatment Costs

Treatment costs are typically prepaid through international medical agencies. To ease financial burden, transfer the estimated treatment costs to the coordination agency before traveling. If actual costs are lower than estimated, the balance will be refunded; if higher, the difference must be paid during treatment. Confirm refund and additional payment methods in advance.

### Obtaining a Visa

A visa is required for travel to China. If you do not have a visa, consult an international medical coordination agency for assistance in obtaining a medical visa. If you already have a visa, confirm its validity and allowed stay duration. Recently, China has reinstated the 144-hour visa-free transit for citizens of many countries. For international medical services, hospitals or coordination agencies can assist with longer stays.

### Traveling to China and Receiving Treatment

International medical agencies can arrange transportation and other necessary assistance. During hospitalization, both the coordination agency and the hospital will provide required services, so limit the number of accompanying persons.

### Settlement of Medical Expenses

The estimated treatment costs prepaid before traveling will be settled based on actual expenses after treatment. Direct payment to medical institutions is usually unnecessary. Costs include hospital examinations, treatment fees, translation services, and other related expenses.

### Follow-Up After Returning Home

Continue follow-up care with local doctors after returning home. Regularly send updates on your condition and examination results to the international medical coordination agency for confirmation by the Chinese hospital.
