Insurance

Insurance in China is less about whether you own a policy and more about what happens at the counter. Can the hospital bill your insurer directly? Does the policy require pre-authorization? Is the doctor or department in the same network as the hospital name shown on the insurer’s list? If direct billing fails, do you still have enough cash or card limit to keep care moving?
