I still think Shanghai United is the best bet (while not ideal, I would rather be overcharged – which Insurance covers – and treated properly – in saying that, we were not overcharged for my wife’s surgery).
However, realise this can be a distance for many – I am in French Concession so a 15 min drive- or with my driver 10 mins LOL. My wife and I also go to Global Health in Kerry Centre. My wife had a very bad chest infection and saw an English female doctor working there and said she was excellent – better than her last GPs in Auckland.
Why don’t you go and see them and see if they have some suggestions on where might be best to go for an emergency? They must have some views/ideas. With Singapore 5-6 hours flight time away we all have to face the fact that in a true Emergency we will have to get care here until we can be stabilised and flown out. I live 200 metres from Hua Shan Hospital but unless it was extreme emergency where seconds counted our medical plan is:
1. Call driver (I am sure his real name is Michael Schumacher)
2. Call doctor at Global Health for advice/assistance
3. Head to Shanghai United
4. Call PA to co-ordinate with Insurer
