AXA Medical Insurance
China Admissions is please to share the information on AXA Tianping Medical Insurance to provide International Level Medical Insurance for Foreign Students in China.
Introduction
It is a legal requirement for all students in China to have medical insurance. If you do not have insurance at this time you will need to buy the local Chinese student insurance.
Local Insurance
The local Chinese insurance costs 800 RMB per year and is insured by Pingan. Many students who have used the insurance have found it to be quite basic. The main limitations of this insurance:
– The costs needs to be paid by you direct and is reimbursed by the insurance company later.
– There is a limit to the hospitals that can be used.
– There is no guarantee of English service (it is advisable to go with a Chinese friend if you have a medical problem)
With feedback from students, we are pleased to announce we have partnered with AXA to provide more comprehensive medical insurance for foreign students in China.
This should provide you with comprehensive medical service to be easy to use in case of a small problem. It can also help to cover in case of any emergency in China with a high level of medical treatment.
