HOSPITAL VISIT GUIDE

Get to know Peking Union Medical College Hospital

PUMCH’s International Medical Services offer outpatient and inpatient care. This profile focuses on the Dongdan campus. The government guide also describes a separate Xidan service, so confirm your destination when arranging an appointment.

Selected clinical fields

CardiologyGastroenterologyPediatrics

Navigation labels supported by the linked sources. They do not establish treatment suitability or appointment availability.

Planning a visit

Published sources are linked below. Confirm your department, appointment, language support and payment arrangements with the hospital before travelling.

Use the linked hospital or public-service information to confirm the current appointment channel. This directory does not arrange appointments or provide medical advice.

Choose the correct appointment route

The official IMS app has an English interface. Routine daytime, evening and Saturday clinics are listed in the booking guide. Obstetrics, dentistry and special appointments use telephone booking. A listed clinic does not confirm a slot.

Keep Dongdan and Xidan separate

The guide identifies Dongdan at 1 Shuaifuyuan and Xidan at 41 Damucang Hutong. This profile uses the Dongdan service route; obtain the exact reporting location with your appointment.

Insurance and admission are separate steps

The insurance workflow asks for valid identification and an insurance card. Inpatient direct billing additionally involves a physician’s admission order, an insurer guarantee and a hospital-confirmed admission date. Patients remain responsible for uncovered charges.

Suggested preparation sequence

Editorial planning guidance; not a hospital policy or booking confirmation.

  1. Identify the department and campus with the hospital.
  2. Ask about accepted identification and record submission before sending personal documents.
  3. Confirm consultation language, costs and the appointment in writing before arranging travel.

Questions to resolve before you book travel

  1. Department and location. Ask which team will assess your case and obtain the exact campus, building and reception point.
  2. Registration and records. Confirm accepted identification, record formats, translation needs and the hospital’s approved submission channel.
  3. Language and support. Ask about the clinician’s consultation language and assistance during tests or admission.
  4. Costs and confirmation. Request itemized estimates and insurance authorization, then wait for the hospital’s booking confirmation.

Questions & answers

Answers distinguish published information from details you still need to confirm.

How can a foreign patient book at PUMCH?

Use the official app’s English IMS interface or the foreign-patient appointment line. The correct route also depends on clinic type.

Can I book obstetrics or dentistry through the same app route?

The IMS contact page directs obstetrics, dentistry and special appointments to telephone booking. Confirm the clinic before selecting a channel.

Does PUMCH IMS offer Saturday appointments?

The booking page includes Saturday clinics through the official app. This does not establish availability for a particular doctor or date.

What documents does an insured patient need?

The published insurance workflow asks for valid identification and an insurance card; it also mentions electronic insurance cards. Confirm any additional registration documents.

Does direct billing guarantee an inpatient bed?

No bed guarantee is established. The published inpatient workflow includes a doctor’s admission order, an insurer guarantee letter and a hospital-confirmed admission date.

Does 24/7 IMS service mean appointments are available at any hour?

The general service statement does not specify round-the-clock appointment-line staffing or availability for every clinic. Confirm the relevant clinic’s hours.

Can I request an English-speaking rare-disease specialist?

The doctor source profile identifies Shen Min’s published specialty. It does not verify an English consultation slot; request language and scheduling confirmation from IMS.

Sources & open questions

  • Accepted identification, registration channel and record translation requirements.
  • Consultation language, interpretation, fees and policy-specific insurance authorization.

Directory relationship: no partnership, endorsement or booking arrangement is claimed.
