What hospital care costs in Shanghai

A visit to a top public hospital's VIP clinic costs about half of a private international hospital's consultation; tests like an MRI cost a fraction. Every figure below links to the hospital's or the city's own price list.

The same care, two prices

Public test prices are Shanghai's standard prices for top-tier hospitals; international departments may charge more.

Why one hospital has several prices

  • Standard clinics charge Shanghai's set prices: an MRI of one body part is CNY 430 at a top-tier public hospital, a colonoscopy CNY 430 before sedation.
  • VIP (special-needs) clinics and international departments set their own fees. Shanghai limits these self-priced services to 10% of each hospital's services.
  • A visit fee covers the consultation only. Tests, scans and medicines are charged separately, usually paid before each one.
