Horcare is a patient coordination service, not a medical provider. Diagnosis, treatment plans and eligibility are decided by the treating hospital. Medical disclaimer.

Why patients consider China for cardiology & cardiac surgery

Cardiology and cardiac surgery cover coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, arrhythmias, heart failure and congenital heart defects. Patients typically contact Horcare because surgery has been recommended at home and the waiting time or cost is a barrier.

China's most specialized cardiovascular care is concentrated in dedicated heart hospitals such as Fuwai Hospital and Beijing Anzhen Hospital, and in the cardiac centers of large Grade 3A hospitals in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Hangzhou and Wuhan.

Fitness for travel is an important part of any cardiac case. The hospital and the patient's own doctor should both be involved in deciding whether and when it is safe to fly.

Which hospitals in China specialize in heart surgery?

Dedicated cardiovascular hospitals such as Fuwai Hospital and Beijing Anzhen Hospital, plus the cardiac surgery departments of Grade 3A hospitals in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Hangzhou and Wuhan. The right hospital depends on the specific heart condition.

Who do I pay for treatment, and does Horcare add a markup?

You pay the hospital directly for all medical care, based on the hospital's own itemized quote. Horcare adds no markup to hospital bills. Our coordination fee is separate and is quoted in writing before any paid work begins; the initial case review is free.
