Before planning a visit

Evidence and risks vary by condition and intervention. Herbal medicines can interact with existing medication. Discuss all medicines with the treating team; TCM does not replace necessary investigation or established treatment. SeekDoctor coordinates enquiries and visits. Hospitals and licensed clinicians make clinical decisions.

Questions for the hospital

  • What assessments are needed, what evidence supports this procedure and who is eligible?
  • What regulatory authorisation or permitted care pathway applies to the proposed intervention?
  • Does the hospital accept international patients for this type of care, and what needs confirmation before travel?
  • What separate process should I use if medical records are requested?
  • What is included and excluded in the estimate, and who provides follow-up after I return home?

Costs and exclusions

Illustrative external reference (USD): $500 to $3,000. Not a SeekDoctor offer or a confirmed hospital fee. Confirm the exact scope, currency, tests, medicines, inpatient care, complications and follow-up in a written hospital estimate. Travel and coordination costs are separate.

Free initial consultation. Do not send medical records through the contact form. Hospital and travel costs are separate.

Confirm before travel

Your hospital and treating clinician decide the clinical plan.

Eligibility, timing and aftercare

Confirm how the hospital will review your diagnosis, the proposed intervention, alternatives, risks, international-patient requirements and follow-up. Do not use a generic recovery or hospital-stay figure to plan flights. Medical records need a separate process, not the contact form.

CAR-T and stem cell enquiries

Ask for the exact product, indication and current Chinese authorisation. If care is investigational, request the trial registration, ethics approval and consent information. Trial registration alone does not prove approval or benefit. General evidence from another country does not establish availability in China.

What the reference figures mean

The USD ranges came from an external procedure directory captured on 9 October 2026. Their inclusions and accuracy have not been independently confirmed. They are not SeekDoctor prices, a hospital quote or a guaranteed saving. Request an itemised estimate for your actual care plan, including exclusions and separate travel or coordination charges.
