Could you please suggest/refer me to good/cheap health insurance options?

Hey Mark! I went with Aetna GoodHealth, which I think is a good value: About $1000 per year for me. I booked through Pacific Prime www.pacificprime.com who were always very thorough in answering my questions; I'd recommend at least trying them for a quotation.
Aetna GoodHealth has a direct billing network in China / Asia. Coverage is worldwide with in and out-patient treatment. In the US it only covers emergency unscheduled treatments. It does not cover regular check-ups. But that works for me, as I just want something for emergencies anyway.
I haven't had to use it (knock on wood), so I cannot speak to how the service is when in need.

All the major insurance companies will be at next month's Expat Show. It's once again at the Exhibition Center on Yan'an from Sept. 17-19 and is free if you register online or pick up one of the zillion flyers around town. Www.expatshowshanghai.cn

Don't register for the expat show online, unless you want to be deluged with spam for the next year.
