About these prices
Each price is what a hospital reported to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA, 건강보험심사평가원) for a treatment National Health Insurance does not cover. They are not quotes. Ask the hospital for the price before you book.
The data covers hospitals and larger facilities. Neighborhood clinics (의원) are not included, so prices at a clinic near you may be different. Typical is the middle price among the hospitals that report it. Low and high are the lowest and highest prices reported.
