Travelers will be asked to post a deposit prior to admission to cover the expected cost of treatment. Hospitals in major cities may accept credit cards for payment. Even in the VIP/Foreigner wards of major hospitals; however, expat patients have frequently encountered difficulty due to cultural and regulatory differences. Physicians and hospitals have sometimes refused to supply expat patients with complete copies of their Chinese hospital medical records, including laboratory test results, scans, and x-rays.

Ambulances do not carry sophisticated medical equipment. Injured or seriously ill Beijing expats may be required to take taxis or other immediately available vehicles to the nearest major hospital rather than waiting for ambulances to arrive. Generally, in rural areas, only rudimentary medical facilities are available, often with poorly trained medical personnel who have little medical equipment and medications. Rural clinics are often reluctant to accept responsibility for treating foreigners, even in emergency situations.

Raffles Medical, formerly International SOS, provides comprehensive medical and dentistry services delivered by a highly trained and specialized team of healthcare professionals. The clinic belongs to the Raffles Medical Group, a leading medical group in Singapore that was founded in 1976. Languages spoken include English, Chinese, French, German, Spanish and Japanese.

For medical emergencies anywhere in mainland China, expats can call the International SOS, Ltd., 24-hour "Assistance Center" in Beijing at telephone (86)(10) 6462-9100 or in Shanghai at (86)(21) 5298-9538 for advice and referrals to local facilities. International SOS Alarm Centers can also be contacted in Hong Kong at telephone (852) 2428-9900.
