Q: where do you get your health coverage?

Do you pay for medical coverage from home or in China?

 What are you paying?

This is an option, depending on how long you plan on staying. Keep your insurance at home too, though.

if you are working here, you most probably get medical coverage included in your compensation package. 

If you maintain your coverage abroad, be sure you double check about them paying claims while in China, many will not cover you while here.  Will also depend on the length of your stay here.  Make no sense in paying premiums and getting no coverage.

I get my Medical coverage from the VA medical center. All I have to do is be a resident of that state. My medical coverages are already paid for. They just require me to go check on the doctor once a year. Low costs for medicines and free shots year-round, x-rays. Just call me lucky I guess. I might try going back in the service to get that lifetime medical coverage.

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China.    So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital.   -- icnif77
