Can Foreigners Book a Shanghai Health Check Without a Chinese Number?
By MyChinaCheckup coordination team · Updated
Foreign visitors can enquire about a Shanghai health check before arrival using email. You do not need a Chinese phone number for our first enquiry. Confirm the chosen hospital’s registration process, appointment availability and contact arrangements before booking.
Can foreigners book a health check in Shanghai?
Yes—foreign visitors can enquire about the Shanghai hospital options listed on MyChinaCheckup before arrival. The selected hospital must confirm acceptance, appointment availability and registration requirements for the specific visit. A Chinese phone number is not required to send our enquiry form; email is enough for the first response.
- Send your travel window and any package links you are considering.
- Ask for the exact campus, registration documents and available appointment.
- Review the examinations, English-support arrangements, report delivery and written total.
- Treat the appointment as booked only after the confirmation and payment steps have been completed.
Ask how the hospital will register an overseas visitor and what original identity document to bring. Do not publish a passport image in comments or the initial form. A voluntary health check is a different service from an officially required visa, employment or residence examination.
Your selected, confirmed package
Four services included in your package
All listed check-up tests
The examinations and consumables expressly listed for your selected package, with its eligibility conditions.

Individual appointment planning, visit coordination and support through report delivery.
Dedicated English-speaking accompaniment throughout your check-up

These four services are included in the price of your selected, confirmed package. Extra tests, treatment, medicines, transport and accommodation are not included unless expressly listed in your written plan; separately priced additions require your approval.
VIP personal service means MyChinaCheckup’s individual coordination and accompaniment. It does not promise a hospital VIP ward, priority medical access or a medical outcome.
Direct hospital booking or coordination?
Direct booking depends on the selected hospital’s channels and registration process. MyChinaCheckup coordinates a written appointment plan and agreed English support; it does not operate the hospital or set clinical rules. Choose the route that gives you clear confirmation of the campus, tests, payment and reports.
If you can receive email but will change phone numbers during travel, agree which contact will be used for meeting instructions and reports. Continue with Shanghai health check enquiries or the hospital-campus shortlist.
Separate the enquiry from hospital registration
The enquiry form asks for planning details so the team can discuss an arrangement. Sending it is not hospital registration and does not reserve an appointment. Ask what identification the hospital needs, whether your overseas number can be used and who will complete any required booking step.
Do not assume your passport alone resolves every administrative requirement. Request a document list for the exact hospital, campus and service. Send passport or medical documents only when needed through an agreed private channel, never in a public comment.
Agree a channel that works throughout the visit
Choose email or WhatsApp for the initial reply and explain how you expect to remain reachable in China. If your usual channel becomes unavailable, you need a practical alternative. Save the hospital address, appointment reference and coordinator contact offline before leaving your hotel.
Ask how you will receive any time-sensitive change to the arrival point or examination schedule. A reply to an enquiry and a final appointment confirmation should be easy to distinguish in your messages.
Send enough information to get a useful answer
- Shanghai and your approximate travel dates.
- Your preferred service or a link to a package.
- Whether you need English accompaniment and translated reports.
- Your preferred contact channel.
- Any fixed departure deadline.
You do not need to send a complete medical history in the first message. If clinical review is needed, the team can explain the next step and where relevant documents should be provided.
Common questions
Does using WhatsApp confirm my appointment?
No. Wait for written confirmation of the hospital, campus, scope, date and total, then follow the payment instructions.
Should I use my hotel’s phone number?
Ask the hospital and coordinator what contact details they require. Use an arrangement that lets the team reliably reach you.
