Initial Case Review — free

You tell us about your situation. This step is our own experience-based judgement of whether treatment in China is a realistic option for your case — it involves no clinical assessment and no diagnosis of any kind. If China is not the right route for you, we say so directly and stop there: no fee, no next step, no pressure. The review itself is free.

We look only at the information you send us:

  • Diagnosis and current condition
  • Previous treatment
  • Medical reports and imaging
  • Your treatment goals and questions

Second Opinion

A senior specialist at one of our partner hospitals studies your complete records and gives their view in writing — the same kind of expert assessment you would receive in a face-to-face consultation, except that there is no physical examination and no hospital file is opened. It is a professional clinical opinion; it is not a full diagnosis, and we never present it as one. The consultation is recorded in full: the audio is always recorded continuously and in its entirety, and video is recorded where the treating physician consents to being filmed. Where a physician does not consent to filming, that portion has no video — so the video record may have a gap — but the audio stays continuous and complete throughout. We then compile the consultation into a written summary in English (or your chosen language), unaltered, and send it to you within 3–5 working days of payment. This step is optional — but we strongly recommend it.

  • A written clinical opinion from a senior specialist at a partner hospital
  • Recorded in full — audio always continuous and complete; video where the physician consents
  • Translated in full into English or your chosen language, with nothing added or removed

Medical Records Preparation

We help organize your records the way hospital departments need them: complete, translated, and easy to review. Large files are shared securely as cloud links.

Important: we do not diagnose or evaluate medical conditions. Medical opinions come only from qualified physicians at the hospitals.

Hospital Coordination & Cost Confirmation

Your case is placed before the departments that actually treat your condition. Initial written reviews commonly return within 3–5 working days.

  • Costs confirmed in writing before you commit
  • Appointment planning with senior specialists
5

Travel & Admission Planning

Once you choose a hospital and dates, everything is arranged before you fly. The hospital issues your visa invitation letter once the treatment plan is confirmed and your deposit has been paid — usually within 5–7 working days, and typically within 3 working days through our own handling.

  • Official medical visa invitation letter
  • Visa route confirmed for your passport — nationals of 30-day visa-free countries often need no medical visa at all for a short stay
  • If your treatment is extended, we arrange the visa extension for you — end to end, at no extra charge from us
  • Flight timing coordinated with admission
  • Airport pickup
  • Hotel or apartment near the hospital
  • Hospital admission arranged for your arrival

Support During Your Journey

Your coordinator and your interpreter are both present for the clinical part of the journey — the consultations, procedures, admission and discharge that the treating physicians schedule. If the plan calls for ten consultations, we attend ten. We are not a 24-hour bedside presence: we are there for the clinical moments, and reachable at any hour for everything else.

  • Coordinator and interpreter at every consultation the treating physicians schedule — ten sessions means ten
  • Guaranteed on-site response within 2 hours in an emergency
  • English discharge summary and itemized billing at the end
  • Remote support after you return; follow-up visits arranged on request at one flat fee per trip — see our pricing page
We guarantee the process — genuine senior specialists, written quotes, an interpreter at your side — not medical outcomes.
What this costs: step 1 is free. The optional second opinion in step 2 is $500, credited in full toward Case Processing if you go on to treatment. Steps 3–4 are covered by the $2,000 Case Processing fee, and on-the-ground coordination is $3,500–6,500 depending on your case — see the full fee list. The coordination fee is settled on ticket day, and no later than 5 days before departure. Hospital fees are separate and paid directly to the hospital.
