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.

Questions

Does health insurance pay for medical certificates?
These prices are for items hospitals report as not covered by National Health Insurance, so you pay the full price. Private health insurance may pay part of it, depending on your policy.
Is this the price I will pay?
It is what the hospital reported to HIRA, not a quote. The final bill can be different, depending on the exact treatment. Ask the hospital before you book.
Why is my local clinic not listed?
HIRA's public price data covers hospitals and larger facilities. Neighborhood clinics (의원) are not in it, so ask the clinic for its price.
