China Medical Tourism Guides: Costs, Hospitals, Checkups & Safety

360+ practical guides for foreign patients — what care actually costs in China, how to vet hospitals, and how to bring home records you can use.

What does medical care in China cost — and is it safe?

Typical self-pay prices run 40–95% below US private-pay rates, and the spread across procedures is wide enough that the average is misleading: a basic full-body health checkup is $150–450 (vs $3,000–6,000 in the US) and a single-region MRI $75–180 (vs $1,200–3,000) — imaging and screening are the largest savings we publish. Surgery is much narrower: LASIK is $1,200–1,800 both eyes against $4,000–5,000, closer to a 45% saving than the 70% usually quoted. Full price list with US and European comparisons: China medical costs dataset.

Safety depends on where you go, not whether you go: care at a Grade 3A (三甲) hospital's international department is the standard foreigners actually use — same senior specialists, English-language reports. How to judge it for yourself: Is medical tourism in China safe? and Best hospitals for international patients.
