While locals and permanent residents have access to universal healthcare, most expats won\u2019t have access to this benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When securing any insurance plan, research is crucial.

Depending on your insurance plan, you may have full coverage for telemedicine or have co-pays. It is important to refer back to your policy details before using telemedicine services to avoid paying out-of-pocket unnecessarily.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are telemedicine consultations covered in insurance plans in China?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many insurers in China, such as Ping An, offer telemedicine as an add-on benefit to their health insurance plans.
