About SynMedi

What is SynMedi?

SynMedi is a medical coordination service for international patients seeking hospital direction, record preparation, translation, consultation coordination or China visit support.

Is SynMedi a hospital or clinic?

No. SynMedi is not a hospital, clinic, medical provider or emergency service. We provide coordination and patient journey assistance.

Does SynMedi provide diagnosis or prescriptions?

No. We do not diagnose, prescribe medication or make treatment decisions. These must be handled by licensed doctors and hospitals.

What does “medical coordination” mean?

It means helping patients organize records, understand possible hospital routes, prepare documents, coordinate communication and support patient-side hospital navigation.

Who is SynMedi suitable for?

Patients who want to explore China hospital pathways, prepare records, seek remote review where suitable, or come to China for medical consultation or treatment coordination.

Can SynMedi guarantee a medical outcome?

No. No coordination service can guarantee diagnosis, treatment acceptance, recovery, surgery, admission or treatment results.

Services & Packages

What is the Hospital Matching Report?

It is an early-stage report that helps identify possible hospital, department and route direction based on the patient’s disease area, records and goals.

What is the Online Standard Package?

It is designed for deeper case preparation, selected translation or bilingual dossier work, remote review coordination and more detailed pathway support.

What is Patient Visit Coordination?

It supports patients planning to come to China with pre-arrival preparation, hospital-day coordination, interpreter support and follow-up organization.

Which package should I choose first?

If you are unsure, start with the Hospital Matching Report. If records are complete and you need deeper review, Online Standard may be more suitable.

Can I upgrade from one package to another?

Depending on the case and service progress, upgrade or additional coordination may be possible. Contact us with your case status.

Are hospital fees included in SynMedi service fees?

No. Hospital fees, tests, treatment, medication, inpatient deposits, travel, hotels and third-party costs are separate unless explicitly stated.

Medical Records & Translation

What documents do I need to submit?

Common records include diagnosis summary, imaging reports, pathology, lab tests, discharge summaries, treatment history, medication list and main questions.

Do I need to translate every medical record?

Not always. For coordination, it is often better to translate or summarize the records that directly affect hospital route and specialist review.

Can SynMedi translate medical records?

Yes, translation or bilingual summary support may be included depending on package scope and document needs.

Can translated records replace original records?

No. Patients should keep original records and image files. Hospitals may request originals or repeat tests.

What if my records are incomplete?

We can provide document gap notes and explain what may be needed before deeper matching, remote review or appointment coordination.

Can I submit photos of reports?

Clear scans or PDFs are better. Photos may be accepted for preliminary review if they are complete, readable and not blurred.

Hospital Matching

Can SynMedi recommend the best hospital?

We avoid absolute claims like “best.” We help identify suitable hospital and department directions based on the patient’s disease area, records and goals.

Does hospital matching guarantee acceptance?

No. Hospital acceptance depends on hospital rules, doctor review, appointment availability, patient condition and document completeness.

How do you match hospitals?

We consider disease area, department route, case complexity, document readiness, patient goals, service needs and whether the patient needs online or in-person support.

Can I choose a specific hospital?

You can share your preference. We can help evaluate whether it seems suitable for your case, but final decisions and availability belong to the hospital.

Do you work only with public hospitals?

No. Depending on the case, the route may involve public hospitals, specialty hospitals, international departments or other appropriate medical institutions.

Can one patient need multiple departments?

Yes. Complex cases may need multi-department or staged consultation, especially oncology, neurology, cardiology, orthopedics and rehabilitation cases.

Remote Review & Second Opinion

Can I get a remote second opinion before traveling?

Possibly. It depends on the disease, document completeness, case suitability and whether a relevant specialist pathway is available.

Does remote review replace an in-person visit?

No. Remote review may provide direction, but many cases still require physical examination, additional tests or in-person hospital evaluation.

What records are needed for remote review?

Usually diagnosis summary, key imaging, pathology or lab results, treatment history, medication list and clear questions are needed.

Can SynMedi provide the medical opinion directly?

No. SynMedi coordinates preparation and communication. Medical opinions must come from licensed doctors or hospitals where available.

Can remote review tell me exact treatment cost?

It may help clarify likely treatment direction, but exact costs often require hospital evaluation, tests and treatment decisions.

What if my case is urgent?

Do not wait for remote coordination. Contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department immediately.

China Visit Support

Can SynMedi support me during a hospital visit in China?

Yes, depending on package scope, location and schedule. Support may include interpreter, hospital navigation and patient-side process guidance.

Does SynMedi arrange visas, flights or hotels?

Our core service is medical coordination. Travel, hotels, visa and third-party services are separate unless explicitly included.

Can you accompany me to consultation and tests?

Depending on hospital rules and package scope, we may support registration, consultation communication, test-area navigation and follow-up organization.

Can you guarantee faster service in hospital?

No. Waiting time and workflow depend on hospital rules, patient volume, department schedule and medical priority.

Who pays the hospital fees?

The patient pays hospital fees directly. SynMedi can help explain payment steps where included, but we do not cover medical costs.

Can you support follow-up after I return home?

Follow-up document organization and communication support may be available depending on package scope and case needs.

Payment & Refund

When do I pay for SynMedi services?

Payment is usually made before service work begins. Specific package details depend on the selected service.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

If no work has started, cancellation may be eligible for refund. Once review, translation, report or coordination work begins, fees may become partially or fully non-refundable.

Are hospital fees refundable through SynMedi?

No. Hospital fees, deposits, travel costs and third-party charges follow the rules of the hospital or provider that charged them.

What if no suitable hospital route is found?

We may still provide a report explaining limitations, document gaps or why a route is not suitable. This work may still be considered delivered service.

Can I request additional services after purchase?

Yes, additional translation, consultation coordination or visit support may be quoted separately depending on scope.

Where can I read the refund terms?

Please review the Refund Policy page for detailed rules before purchasing a service.

Privacy & Medical Disclaimer

How does SynMedi handle medical information?

We use patient information to provide coordination, translation, communication and support services. Sensitive records should be shared through approved channels.

Do you share my records with hospitals?

When coordination requires hospital or doctor-side communication, relevant records may be shared with appropriate medical-side contacts according to service needs and patient authorization.

Can SynMedi give emergency advice?

No. SynMedi is not an emergency service. Urgent symptoms should be handled by local emergency services or the nearest hospital.

Does SynMedi guarantee treatment success?

No. We do not guarantee diagnosis, treatment, admission, surgery, recovery or any medical outcome.
