no insurer list published

The hospital president says it works with 30+ international insurers who settle bills directly (2025). The city's 2024 directory does not list them by name. A 2016 list included MSH, Cigna & CMB, Ping An, MediLink-Global, WellBe, AXA and SOS International; check your insurer before booking.

What patients from abroad should know

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

Works well 6

  • The city's English portal says the International Medical Center provides 24-hour emergency care and one-stop services (Shanghai government English portal, 2025).
  • Overseas families book by email with a bilingual request form (2025 edition) that asks for passport, visa and local address details; the city directory says replies come within 48 hours (Shanghai government directory, 2024; ChinaMedGuide, 2026).
  • The hospital describes one-stop help for overseas patients, including interpreting, visa help and accommodation (hospital president interview, 2025).
  • A VIP vaccination clinic at 399 Wanyuan Road vaccinates children Mon–Sat 8:30–11:00 and 13:30–15:00 (phone 021-64932081) (Shanghai CDC list on the city's English portal, 2024).
  • Doctors in the international unit are senior specialists, and most pediatricians trained abroad (hospital description, 2016).
  • Families whose insurer has a direct-billing agreement can be treated without paying up front; the hospital settles with the insurer (hospital president interview, 2025).

Watch out for 5

  • Main campus is on Wanyuan Road in Minhang, a long trip from downtown or Pudong.
  • The International Medical Center does not publish its fees; on the Haodf booking platform, VIP specialist sessions are listed at CNY 600 and some child-health and psychology sessions at CNY 2500 per visit (Haodf, 2026).
  • Most named specialists hold only one or two VIP half-days a week (for example hematology on Thursday afternoons, gastroenterology on Tuesday afternoons), so slots are limited (Haodf schedules, Oct 2026).
  • The hospital website was unreachable in our tests (2026), so online self-service information is hard to get.
  • An expat guide rates it excellent clinically, but says consultations are mostly in Chinese, registration is competitive and a routine visit can take a morning (Choice Shanghai, 2026).

  • The hospital website blocks many connections (HTTP 420), so the International Medical Center page could not be read directly; the Building 2, 1F location comes from search summaries and third-party pages.
  • Service languages differ by source: the city's 2024 directory lists English only; the city's 2025 list adds Japanese, Korean, French and German.
  • No current direct-billing insurer list was found; the 2016 list and third-party claims (MediLink-Global, Ping An, Cigna) are not confirmed as current.
  • The International Medical Center's own fee for a general pediatric visit is not published. Haodf lists VIP specialist clinics at CNY 600 and some sessions at CNY 2500 (Oct 2026); a figure of CNY 300–1000 per visit seen in search summaries has no confirmed source.
  • Whether the JCI accreditation (2014) is still current was not verified.
  • Hospital recruitment notices list 7 national key clinical specialties; no official health commission list was found. A 2016 hospital description lists neonatology, critical care, gastroenterology and pediatric TCM.
  • The overseas-patient email appointment_chfu@fudan.edu.cn appears only on the blocked English site; not verified.
  • Annual visit figures (about 140,000, from 35 or 40+ countries) are hospital-reported and include Chinese patients using the VIP service.
  • No International Medical Center doctor roster was found. VIP clinic times and fees for the listed doctors come from Haodf schedules for the Wanyuan Road outpatient department (Oct 2026); whether these sessions are held inside the International Medical Center was not confirmed. Dr. Chen Chao had no published schedule on Haodf.
  • Prices of self-paid (optional) vaccines at the VIP vaccination clinic were not found.

  • Fudan 2024 rankings were not available; 2023 edition used.
  • No published data on emergency waiting times was found.
  • The hospital website (ch.shmu.edu.cn) blocks our connections (HTTP 420), so the overseas booking page, the International Medical Center pages and the booking page (S35, S36, S37, S39) were read only through search-engine summaries, not word for word.
  • Whether a foreign passport can be used to register by email or WeChat is not stated. A third-party guide that sells consultation services says the 2025 overseas request form asks for passport number, visa type and a local address in China; the form itself could not be opened.
  • The International Medical Center's own consultation fee is not published. A 2024 Baidu Health post by an insurance seller cites CNY 600 (no named doctor) and CNY 738 (named expert); not recorded as a price.

  • How imaging can be taken home (DICOM disc, cloud link or film) was not found.
  • The hospital says it helps international patients with visas, and a 2025 Wenhui report says a Russian family obtained a "medical visa" with its help; the report does not name the visa category, our national policy check found no visa category named for medical treatment, and whether the hospital issues a formal invitation letter is not stated.
  • Records after leaving: a 2020 third-party patient guide says inpatient record copies can be requested through the hospital's 'Medical Records Assistant' WeChat mini-program about two weeks after discharge and sent by courier within China; delivery abroad is not stated.
  • Whether the internet hospital offers follow-up visits to patients outside mainland China is unknown.
  • International-patient acceptance for nephrology and endocrinology rests on the hospital's general statement that International Medical Center clinics cover all pediatric subspecialties (read via search summary); no case was found.
  • A search summary attributes a general booking line (021-96999176) to the hospital; not verified.
  • Nearest metro station and airport route to Wanyuan Road were not found in an official source.
