What patients from abroad should know

From patient reports, media and official pages. Both sides, so you can decide.

Works well 6

  • Round-the-clock international outpatient, emergency and inpatient care, useful for night-time emergencies (city lists, 2024–2025).
  • A long direct-billing list (about 40), including Bupa, Allianz Partners, Cigna & CMB and MSH China; Aetna and GeoBlue are not named (city lists, 2024–2025).
  • Can provide English medical reports (City News Service, 2026).
  • Some senior specialists hold sessions inside IMCC (Building 12, 6F), for example two chief neurologists on Monday and Wednesday and a chief andrologist on Monday afternoons, some booked one-to-one by phone and paid by self-pay or commercial insurance (Haodf, 2026).
  • IMCC has 6 VIP consulting rooms and 70 VIP inpatient rooms, including 4 suites, and lists home visits among its services (China Daily, 2018).
  • The North campus is in central Hongkou, close to the Bund and North Bund.

Watch out for 6

  • Two campuses far apart (Hongkou and Songjiang); always confirm which one you are booked into.
  • The hospital does not publish IMCC fees; booking-platform listings show IMCC specialist sessions at CNY 500–800; one chief neurologist charges CNY 800 in IMCC and CNY 50 in his regular clinic (Haodf, 2026).
  • Few named specialists work inside IMCC: Haodf lists five IMCC doctors at the North campus, mostly internists, and only a handful of specialist sessions (Haodf, 2026).
  • Senior eye specialists hold special-needs clinics in the eye department, not in IMCC (Haodf schedules, Oct 2026).
  • The English website is dated and was unreachable during our check; older sources give different street addresses for IMCC (checked 2026-10-07).
  • Checkup prices are only available from third-party booking platforms, not the hospital (checked 2026).

Not yet verified

  • Direct-billing partners are read from the logo image on the 2024-10 city page (38 logos); the 2025-08 city page says 40 insurers without naming them. 'April / SOS International' may be two companies.
  • China Life is named only on the hospital's older English page, not on the city list.
  • German-speaking nurses are mentioned only on the hospital's older English page; city lists name English, Japanese and Russian.
  • Cash, cheque and credit card payment come from the hospital's older English page, which could not be re-read on 2026-10-07.
  • Older sources give IMCC addresses as 100 Haining Road or 585 Jiulong Road; the 2024 and 2025 city lists use 86 Wujin Road.
  • City News Service calls Shanghai General the only Shanghai public hospital with 24-hour international outpatient and emergency care, but the city list also shows Huadong Hospital as 24 hours, so that claim is not used.
  • IMCC consultation and ward fees, and annual foreign-patient numbers, are not published.
  • Checkup prices come from a booking platform that adds a 10% service fee; hospital prices may differ.
  • No evidence of JCI accreditation.
  • Fudan 2024 rankings were not available; 2023 edition used.
  • IMCC specialist sessions and fees come from Haodf schedules (Oct 2026) and can change; the hospital publishes no IMCC fee list. Xu Xun, Sun Xiaodong and Zou Haidong showed eye-department sessions only, none in IMCC.
  • Building 12 for IMCC comes from Haodf session addresses; city lists give only 86 Wujin Road, 6F.
  • The hospital websites (www.shgh.cn and eng.shgh.cn) were unreachable on 2026-10-07 (connection reset, HTTP 502), so hospital-published booking rules, fee lists, deposit, record-copy and imaging rules could not be checked.
  • Whether IMCC books in-person appointments for patients still outside China is not stated. City pages give a 24-hour phone line and an email address and say IMCC offers international telemedicine and medical tourism, but none says a slot can be booked before arrival.
  • No source says whether IMCC phone or email booking, or the hospital's WeChat and Alipay booking, accepts a passport for registration.
  • No typical wait from first contact to first visit is published; named-specialist IMCC sessions take 3–5 patients per half-day (doctor's note on Haodf).
  • Telemedicine fee and format (direct video visit or review of sent records) are not published.
  • Checkup package prices appear only on a checkup booking platform that sells the packages with a 10% service fee; under this round's rules they are leads, not sources.
  • No inpatient deposit amount or rule found.
  • No source found on English itemized receipts, export of imaging (DICOM disc or cloud link), or medical invitation letters for visas.
  • Interpreter fee not published; city lists only name the languages (English, Japanese, Russian).
  • Consultation fee caps (CNY 25 / 40 / 50) are the city-wide maximum for public tertiary hospitals, carried over from other verified profiles citing the same notice; the price annex was not re-opened for this profile.
  • The older hospital English page reportedly listed dental care among IMCC services; it could not be re-read on 2026-10-07.
  • No official source found for the nearest metro station or the route from the airports.
