Green Channel Access

Bypass the System.
Enter Through the
Right Door.

Beijing's top hospitals have two realities: the public queue, and the international / VIP pathway (绿色通道) — faster, appointment-based access to senior specialists, available to international patients. China MedPass focuses on this second pathway.

✓ Senior specialist access, where clinically appropriate and available
01
Senior Specialist Booking

We aim to book you with a senior specialist appropriate to your condition through the hospital's international department — not a general walk-in outpatient queue. Final assignment is determined by the hospital.

02
International VIP Department Access

Major hospitals maintain dedicated international patient departments with English-ready staff and priority scheduling. We navigate this system so you don't have to.

03
Shorter Waits via the International Pathway

Chinese hospitals are among the world's busiest, and public wait times can run to weeks. The international-department pathway is typically faster and appointment-based, subject to hospital availability.

04
Zero Markups — We Don't Work for Hospitals

We charge you a transparent service fee. We receive no commission, referral fee, or kickback from any hospital. Our only incentive is your outcome.

Getting to Beijing

Visas & Entry —
Simpler Than You Think

Most international patients are surprised to learn they don't need a special medical visa for diagnostic appointments. Here's what you actually need to know.

Most common

Tourist Visa (L Visa)

Sufficient for most imaging appointments, diagnostic consultations, and short outpatient visits. Citizens of many countries also qualify for China's 144-hour transit visa exemption or new visa-free entry policies. We confirm your specific eligibility at booking.

For longer treatment

Medical Visa (F / Medical Purpose)

Required for extended treatment stays, surgical admissions, or inpatient care exceeding a tourist visa duration. For longer treatment stays, we help coordinate hospital documentation where available, including the invitation materials that may be required for a medical-purpose visa application.

We handle it

We Advise & Assist on Every Case

As part of your booking confirmation, we confirm exactly which visa you need, how to obtain it, and provide any hospital documentation required for your application. You will not arrive at the border unprepared.

Common Questions

What People Ask
Before They Book

Is it legal for foreign nationals to receive medical care in China?
Yes. Chinese hospitals accept international patients as self-pay visitors. No special medical visa is required for consultations or diagnostic imaging. Major hospitals like PUMCH and Fuwai have dedicated international patient departments specifically for this purpose. You will need your passport for registration.
Will my home doctor accept the reports from Chinese hospitals?
Our English reports follow international clinical documentation standards and include all relevant findings, ICD-10 codes, and DICOM imaging files. Many home doctors can review overseas reports when they are clearly formatted and accompanied by DICOM files, though acceptance depends on the doctor, institution, insurer and local rules. We provide formatting guidance to help compatibility with your home country's systems.
Do I need to speak Mandarin?
Not at all. Your bilingual escort handles every interaction with hospital staff — from registration and triage to consultations and discharge instructions. You will not be left to navigate anything alone. All written materials are provided in English.
Can China MedPass help with conditions beyond imaging — like surgery or treatment?
Yes. While diagnostic imaging is our most common starting point, we coordinate across the full spectrum — specialist consultations, surgical second opinions, and where appropriate, full treatment coordination. If your case requires surgery at Tiantan or cardiovascular intervention at Fuwai, we manage the entire journey around it.
Do I need a special visa to receive medical care in China?
For most diagnostic and outpatient appointments, a standard tourist visa (L Visa) is sufficient. Many nationalities also qualify for China's visa-free entry or 144-hour transit exemption. For extended treatment or surgical stays, a medical visa may be required — China MedPass provides the hospital invitation letter needed to apply. We confirm your exact visa requirements as part of your booking confirmation.
How do I know China MedPass isn't just promoting hospitals for a commission?
We charge a transparent service fee to you — and nothing else. We receive zero commission, referral fees, or payments from any hospital or medical institution. Our hospital recommendations are based entirely on which institution has the strongest track record for your specific condition. You can verify this directly: we publicly list every Beijing hospital we help patients access and encourage independent research. We are not an official representative of these hospitals unless explicitly stated.
