"Healthcare and health insurance in Beijing can be expensive. The cost of medical care in Beijing is generally higher than in other parts of the country, and the cost of health insurance can also be high. The cost of health insurance depends on the type of coverage and the provider, but it can be quite expensive for expats and those with pre-existing conditions. Additionally, many hospitals and clinics in Beijing require payment upfront, which can be a challenge for those without insurance," explained one expat living in Beijing, China.
