Bill from Visit to Pediatrician in Beijing
Toddler T is sick (with bronchitis it turns out) which means I can post another slice of life post. Here’s the bill from a visit to the doctor this morning. The top part is the lab fee: $39; the middle part is the medicine fee (Cefaclor — “Ceclor” brand (Lilly), an antibiotic): $15.36; the bottom part is the flat doctor fee: $66.67. Grand total $121.03 Our private insurance will pick up 100% of the tab.
Zero wait time (we made an appointment); competent and efficient staff; a very clean, pleasant, quiet environment — private health care in the People’s Republic.

roy: It’s a new one next to Beijing Children’s Hospital over on Xi Er Huan. It costs $66.67 to walk in the door which isn’t that much cheaper than Seattle, unfortunately.
