If this is an emergency, do not come here.
For a suspected fracture, major trauma, chest pain, sudden weakness or numbness, high fever, or loss of bladder or bowel control, go to a hospital emergency department. In Korea dial 119 for an ambulance, or 1339 for the emergency medical information line, which offers English support.

COSTS & INSURANCE
You will know the price
before anything begins.
If you have Korean national health insurance
Bring your alien registration card (ARC). Consultation, X-ray, physical therapy and a number of procedures are covered, and you pay only the patient share — the same as Korean patients. Manual therapy is provided under Korea's managed-benefit rules and priced accordingly.
If you do not
Short-term visitors and travellers are treated as non-covered patients. Consultation and imaging fees are set separately from national insurance rates, and reception confirms the amount before your visit begins. Cash and major international credit cards are accepted.
Whether your insurer reimburses a given treatment depends on your policy and their assessment. We provide accurate documentation; we cannot guarantee a reimbursement decision.
Documents for your insurer
Most international patients claim the cost back afterwards. We issue what you need in English, normally on the day of your visit.
