Seeing a Doctor in Hanoi: Costs and What to Expect

What a GP visit, specialist appointment and health check actually cost at Hanoi's English-speaking clinics, and how to avoid a surprise bill.

Prices checked August 2026. Vietnamese đồng is the authoritative figure — dollar equivalents move with the exchange rate.

How much does it cost to see a doctor in Hanoi?

A GP consultation at an international clinic in Hanoi typically costs 800,000–2,100,000₫ (about US$31–80), and a specialist 1,500,000–2,700,000₫. Hanoi French Hospital, which publishes its tariff openly, charges 1,500,000₫ for a GP and 2,100,000₫ for a paediatrician or specialist by appointment. An emergency consultation runs to around 3,240,000₫.

How much is a full health check in Hanoi?

A basic health check at Hanoi French Hospital costs 4,100,000₫ for men and 4,600,000₫ for women, with advanced packages at 6,000,000₫ and 6,800,000₫. Executive packages run from 10,100,000₫ to 65,500,000₫ depending on scope. These are among the few genuinely published medical prices in Hanoi, so they make a reliable benchmark even if you go elsewhere.

What is not included in a Hanoi consultation fee?

The consultation fee covers the doctor's time and nothing else. Blood tests, imaging, medication, procedures and after-hours surcharges are all billed separately, so a 1,500,000₫ consultation can easily become several times that. Ask for an estimate before agreeing to tests, and be aware an inpatient shared room runs roughly 9,900,000–10,920,000₫ a day before treatment.

Do doctors in Hanoi speak English?

At the international clinics, yes — English-speaking doctors and reception staff are standard, because most of their patients are foreign. Public hospitals are a different matter and you should expect to need a translator. Every clinic in this directory was phoned and confirmed to have English-speaking staff before being listed.

Will my insurance be accepted at a Hanoi clinic?

Some Hanoi clinics bill international insurers directly and others require you to pay and claim back. This is worth establishing before you need care rather than at the desk, because for anything serious the difference is thousands of dollars of cash flow. Call your clinic and your insurer and get the answer from both.
