Definition in Chinese

在医院或诊所接受医生诊察时支付的费用，指外来就诊中为诊疗服务而收取的费用。zài yī yuàn huò zhén suǒ jiē shòu yī shēng zhěn chá shí zhī fù de fèi yòng zhǐ wài lái jiù zhěn zhōng wèi zhěn liáo fú wù ér shōu qǔ de fèi yòng

Word origin

门诊 (ménzhěn, "outpatient care") identifies care provided to a visiting patient, and 费 (fèi, "fee") turns that service into a charge.

Usage tips

Chinese receipts may show this charge as its own line, which helps separate the doctor's visit from later purchases at the hospital.
