Chinese register fee before visiting doctors

There're resources on Internet telling you how to see a doctor in China. The procedures in details demonstrate how medical services are. If English levels are good enough in these health workers, it will be more helpful.

I was told by Tom Anderson in a language class last year, that foreigners would fill loss when they were asked to pay before getting any services or merchandise. So it is probably akin to medical services in Chinese hospital. Health buyers pay before seeing doctors, laboratory tests or drugs.

So medical managers should declare their procedures as a routine to bridge the cultural gap. Web pages publishing, booklets or electric billboard, anything that help a visitor in the hospital to understand the procedures are not extravagant. Actually these are necessary for I recognize that even many local visitors have no idea about register procedure and register fee.

Well, here comes the key topic. There're two parts for register fees for visiting a doctor in China. The basic register fee charged at ¥1 ( one yuan ) shows that service is set up between the hospital and you, and the second part, which I like to call it consultant fee, varies from 3 yuan to 50 yuan in Shenzhen just for once, depending on the physician's rank.

So, whatever for prescription, diagnosis or consultation, people pay before that see any doctor.
