Fees & Services

What is included in the Pre-Trip Consulting Fee? +

Our Pre-Trip Consulting fee (ranging from $599 for health checks to $1,499-$3,999 for complex treatments) covers all pre-travel strategy and coordination:

  • Complete medical record review and translation

  • Medical visa invitation letter and guidance
  • Detailed cost estimate and timeline

What's the difference between Consulting and In-Patient Care Coordination? +

Pre-Trip Consulting is done remotely to help you make an informed decision about treatment in China. It's the planning phase before you travel.

In-Patient Care Coordination is an on-the-ground service that provides in-person support during your actual treatment in China:

  • Consulting: Remote, before travel, fixed fee ($599-$3,999)
  • In-Patient Care: In-person, during treatment, daily rate ($199-$499/day)
  • Consulting helps you decide if treatment in China is right for you
  • In-Patient Care supports you during treatment in China

Most clients use both services: consulting first to plan, then in-patient care during treatment.
