Will hospitals accept overseas insurance?

A practical, general-information answer for international patients considering medical care in Shanghai.

Answer

Policies vary by hospital and department. Before travel, ask the hospital and your insurer whether direct billing is available, which documents are required for reimbursement, and whether payment must be made up front. Request the answer in writing when possible.
