Before you book
Check the facility’s registration route, language availability, accepted identification, insurance process and payment method. Shanghai publishes information about international medical services and facilities, but each institution should confirm its current arrangements.
Bring the essentials
- Passport or identification and local contact details.
- Previous reports, prescriptions, medication names and allergies.
- Insurance policy information and a short list of symptoms or questions.
What we can coordinate
Companion Shanghai can help with appointment preparation, registration navigation, medical interpretation and follow-up coordination. The treating institution remains responsible for diagnosis, treatment, medical records and fees.
Official sources
Hospital procedures, fees and availability can change. Confirm current details with the hospital. Listing an institution does not imply a partnership or endorsement.
