Medical Insurance in China
International Medical Insurance
Insurance companies in China require patients to first pay for treatment, and then send all claims and receipts to the insurance company. Some of the best hospitals in China have direct billing arrangements with certain international health insurance companies. These arrangements are still the exception rather than the rule. Contact your insurance broker to determine which hospitals have direct billing arrangements with your international health insurance provider.
Recently, a company called Dadi Insurance offers an insurance which is “Global Medical Insurance” for the upper class and foreigners in China. It’s the a newest medical plan cooperating with Global Benefits Group (GBG). It covers outpatient service, physical examination, childbirth, dentistry, ophthalmology and so on.

Really enjoy your site.
As the “loawai” manager of the site BoWenWang.com, which is the localization of HowStuffWorks.com, I love it both as a resource on China… and as a “kindred spirit” in explaining life…
Keep up the good work!

Although some of the fact above are correct the problem is that it skates the surface and does not actually keep you up to date on the enormous changes that have occured in the Medical and Medical Insurance field over the past 5 years. Nearly all International Medical insurance Companies are now registered and represented in China and ALL Tier 3 Chinese Hospitals accept these providers for cashless treatments. Also there is currently a pilot scheme to separate the VIP sections of all Hospitals both Chinese and foreign so that State Hospitals only deal with emergencies etc for the locals without private insurance. Community Centers will deal with minor issues and all holders of Private Medical insurance will be treated at specialised VIP Centres away from normal Hospitals.

Nike has had quite a long line of superstars with their very own Nike Signature Sneaker, among which is Vince Carter. But it is perhaps in LeBron’s era that Nike scored big in terms of sales and promotion.

was a little surprised by Charlie Sheen’s answer as it not my experience and in some way totally wrong. If you choose your insurance company carefully then there is not usually a problem receiving what you are entitled to. I would certainly recommend a broker because they can help support you if there are any problems. Not only between you and the insurance company but also when there is a problem with a hospital.
I know Abacare health insurance in china quite well and can certainly recommend them and their services. Give them a call and meet with them. They are an insurance broker and not an insurance company.
