The preparation guide
Start with your situation.
Keep the next step clear.
You may be comparing options, already in China, supporting a family member or defining an organisation’s research need. Start with the questions that matter to your decision.
01 / Individuals & families
Three questions to start with.
You do not need to choose a treatment or destination before thinking through your needs. You can keep these notes privately; this website does not collect them.
- What am I hoping to understand or arrange?Describe the question you want answered. Consider whether local care could meet the need, and what advice you would need before deciding.
- What matters to my decision?Think about timing, language, costs and practical constraints. Keep unknowns visible rather than filling them with assumptions.
- Which parts would I want help with?Separate information preparation, administrative coordination and practical support from what you prefer to arrange yourself.
Do not send medical records, identity documents or personal health information through this website. Any future use of necessary information would require an appropriate, approved route.
02 / Already in China
Preparing for a non-urgent visit?
If you have already chosen a hospital, start with its current official information. These are questions to verify, not claims about a particular provider’s rules.
- Which official route handles the appointment?Check the provider’s own channel and whether it supports your situation. Finding a channel does not confirm an appointment.
- What will the provider need?Confirm any identification, referral or existing-record requirements directly. Do not assume a rule applies to every hospital or visitor.
- What practical details remain open?Ask about communication arrangements, payment methods, arrival instructions and how changes are handled. A published service description is not a guarantee of availability.
If the official route meets your need, you may continue independently. PMT support is not a required step.
03 / Organisations
Define the work before a patient case.
A public-information research or service-comparison brief can stand on its own. There is no need to create a patient profile or include employee health information.
- The decision or information needWhat does your organisation need to understand, compare or keep up to date about healthcare services in China?
- The intended use and audienceWho will use the result? Which locations, service categories and time horizon matter?
- The proposed scope and deliverableIdentify the information, practical process or coordination question. Make evidence needs and unresolved assumptions clear.
Actual research, procurement or service support would need a separate agreement covering scope, deliverables, responsibilities, fees and terms. Enquiries are not open yet.
04 / Before a commitment
Keep the important distinctions clear.
Information is not individual clinical advice.
Qualified clinicians assess clinical suitability and care, with your informed involvement. Public information cannot establish that a treatment is appropriate for you.
An estimate is not a confirmed total.
Any proposal would need to distinguish PMT’s work from provider and other third-party charges, explain what is excluded, and set out applicable terms. No price or saving is offered here.
A request is not an accepted arrangement.
Providers confirm case acceptance and arrangements. Insurers decide coverage and government authorities decide visas and entry. PMT cannot promise those decisions on their behalf.
Sending records does not complete a handover.
Receipt, readable and sufficient information, and acceptance of the next responsibility each need confirmation. A handover should identify who is responsible next and what happens if it is incomplete.
Enquiries are not open yet.
No monitored contact channel, request form, booking or payment route is provided here. Please do not send medical records or personal health information.
You can use this guide to organise your own questions and read the proposed service scope. Nothing is submitted or saved by this page.
