Consultation with treatment-plan creation in China typically costs from $130 to $400. The final fee depends on the care setting, specialty, consultation format, and whether imaging or lab tests are added. Bookimed listings include options in Shanghai, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Xiamen, and Qionghai. In the US, similar consultations average $680. Patients save around 60% compared with US prices.
- Public hospitals: They usually charge less because they provide local-standard care rather than private international services.
- Private local clinics: Initial assessments may be free or discounted. Clinics may apply this when patients continue treatment there.
- International hospitals: Consultations may cost more because English-speaking staff and shorter waits are part of the setting.
- Added tests: Imaging, X-rays, and lab work can add charges when billed separately. The requested tests affect the total.
Bookimed Expert Insight: An online consultation can help patients review a plan before traveling. It also keeps travel costs separate. Shanghai Tongji Hospital lists Dr. Wang Shun for a standalone online consultation. It costs about $100 by video or text. The listed package covers the consultation; accommodation and transfer are excluded. Patients comparing options should confirm whether a written treatment plan and tests are priced separately.
