How much does an emergency room visit cost in China?

It depends heavily on the hospital type. Patients report public hospital ER registration around 30 RMB and an ambulance ride of 120 RMB in Beijing, with tests added on top. A private international hospital in Beijing lists ER fees of 1,860 to 3,920 RMB before tests. Serious injuries can cost far more.
