Raffles Medical Beijing Checkup
A health screening at Raffles Hospital Beijing — the private tertiary hospital run by Singapore's Raffles Medical Group — comes from a published lineup of Basic, Basic Plus, Comprehensive, Ladies Premium (40+), Teenager, and gastroscopy-colonoscopy packages, quoted directly by the hospital rather than from a public price list. As a planning calibration, Beijing's premium private-hospital screening tier runs roughly ¥3,000–7,000 ($410–970) for basic packages and ¥7,000–15,000 ($970–2,050) for comprehensive tiers — 2–4× the price of a public Grade IIIA checkup centre running the same core tests.
Expect Beijing's premium private tier: roughly ¥3,000–7,000 basic, ¥7,000–15,000 comprehensive, with endoscopy and advanced imaging priced separately. Raffles publishes the package lineup but quotes prices via its 24-hour hotline (010 8793 7700) and WeChat — call for the current menu. The same core test panel at a public Grade IIIA centre runs $250–550; Raffles buys you English-native service, appointment-based pacing, and direct insurance billing.
What Raffles Medical Beijing is
Raffles Medical Group is one of Southeast Asia's best-known private healthcare groups — the operator of Raffles Hospital Singapore — and its China network runs tertiary hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing plus clinics (Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing and more). The Beijing hospital carries the group's Singapore service model into a full hospital setting: family medicine through specialist departments (radiology, general surgery, OB-GYN, dental, mental health), a dedicated visa health checkup service, and front desks used to international insurance paperwork — the site itself runs in eight languages including English, Arabic, Russian, Japanese and Korean. Like United Family, it's a hospital rather than a clinic network, so screening, imaging and any follow-up happen under one roof — the practical difference from the clinic-format expat providers covered in our English-speaking routes guide.
The screening package lineup
| Package | Who it's for | Planning notes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Health Screening | Adults 18+ | Physician exam, core blood/urine panels, basic imaging — the entry annual-physical tier |
| Basic Plus | Adults 18+ | Basic plus broader labs and additional ultrasound/cardiac items |
| Comprehensive | Adults 18+ | Full lab panels, tumor markers, multi-region ultrasound, deeper cardiac work — the executive tier |
| Ladies Premium | Women 40+ | Adds age-targeted women's-health screening (breast/gyn focus) |
| Teenager | Under 18 | Rare among Beijing providers — age-adapted panel |
| Gastroscopy & colonoscopy (biopsy) | Screening-age adults | Endoscopic cancer screening; compare citywide prices in our endoscopy cost guide |
Raffles refreshes packages as promotions (menus dated and updated on its site) and prices them on request — treat any figure you see online as stale until the hotline or WeChat account confirms it. For calibration against the whole market, our China cost guide and Shanghai & Beijing package comparison put every tier side by side.

*Planning calibration for Beijing's premium private tier — Raffles quotes exact package prices directly.
The honest read mirrors the Parkway analysis in Shanghai: within the premium tier, choose by geography, appointment availability, and which package fits your screening goals — the tiers overlap more than they differ. The bigger fork is premium-vs-public: if maximum tests per yuan matters, a Grade IIIA health-management centre runs the same core menu (often with deeper imaging on site) for a quarter to half the price, with an English report arrangeable — the trade-offs are detailed in our Beijing city guide.
How to book
Book via the 24-hour hotline (010 8793 7700), the online appointment form, or the hospital's WeChat account (QR on its site — WeChat mini-program menus carry the screening packages). Screening runs on fasting mornings; bring your passport and insurance card, and confirm at booking whether your insurer direct-bills preventive screening specifically — wellness benefits are often capped even when direct billing exists (see the insurance notes in our annual-physical guide). If you need the government work-permit medical rather than a wellness screen, that's a different exam — Raffles runs a visa-checkup service, but the standard route is the ITHC, explained in our visa medical exam guide.

Raffles or United Family for a Beijing checkup?
Both sit in the same premium English-native tier with direct insurance billing, and package prices overlap. UFH has the larger Beijing footprint and JCI accreditation history; Raffles brings the Singapore group's model and is often praised for appointment availability. For the same core tests at a quarter to half the price, Beijing's public Grade IIIA checkup centres remain the value route.
