Boao Lecheng is a regulatory experiment. It lets a defined zone use medicines, devices and procedures that are approved elsewhere but not yet registered in China, and it lets foreign patients reach them. In practice, most of the difficulty is not the medicine. It is the paperwork, the language, the scheduling, and not knowing which of 43 institutions to walk into.
We started because that gap kept being filled badly — by intermediaries who took a cut of the medical bill and therefore had an interest in the most expensive answer, or by hospitals whose international desks were one person deep.
Three rules we hold ourselves to
We do not touch medical fees
Medical fees go straight from you to the hospital. We are paid a fixed coordination fee, disclosed in writing. No percentage, no per-patient payment from any institution.
We publish what we verified
Every catalogue entry carries the month it was last checked against the delivering hospital. Items that go stale are marked rather than quietly kept.
We say no early
If a case does not fit, the answer is no — before the flight, not after the assessment fee. A refused enquiry is cheaper than a wasted trip.
A named coordinator, not a queue
Every case is assigned one coordinator who stays on it from first reply to discharge summary. They are not clinicians and will not answer clinical questions — they will get a clinician to answer them, in writing, and translate the answer rather than paraphrase it.
Interpreters are engaged per case. On-site interpretation during consultations, consent discussions and discharge is included in the coordination fee; it is not an optional extra.

Ask us a hard question first.
Whether a therapy is available this quarter, or whether we would send a family member here. Both are fair questions.
