So, you need to go to the hospital often and get a health checkup. Health checkup is very important because it helps you understand your health condition and helps in prevention and early detection.

Did you know that you can get a free health checkup if you join the national insurance for foreigners in Korea?

Foreign health insurance subscribers who have lived for more than 6 months can receive a free health checkup.

Checkup items include blood tests, urine tests, physical tests, etc., and there are detailed items.

You can get a free health checkup every two years! If you were born in an even number, you can get a free health checkup in an even year, and if you were born in an odd number, you can get a free health checkup in an odd year.

Before going for a health checkup, be sure to make an appointment in advance and ask if you can get a free health checkup.

2️⃣ Claim hospital bills

National Health Insurance medical expenses claim allows insurance subscribers to use medical services and claim the corresponding expenses.

In the case of National Health Insurance, the following medical expenses are generally included in the scope of coverage.

1. Medical Expenses: The cost of providing medical services such as diagnosis, treatment, prescription, and surgery.
2. Hospitalization expenses: Expenses incurred during hospitalization, such as food expenses, medical expenses, medicine expenses, examination expenses, etc.
3. Drug Costs: Costs for prescribed drugs
4. Inspection fee: Cost of inspection for diagnosis and equipment used for inspection, etc.
5. Dental fees: Costs for dental treatment and preservation
6. Long-term care expenses: Expenses for using nursing facilities for the disabled, such as the elderly

However, some medical expenses may be excluded from coverage. For example, plastic surgery, cosmetic dentistry, and non-coverage items are not covered by insurance. Therefore, when claiming medical expenses, it is important to check in advance whether the expenses are covered by insurance.

3️⃣ Various dental benefits

With the national insurance for foreigners, dentists can also enjoy various benefits.

I originally introduced dental benefits once, but if you are curious, you can search for 'dental benefits'.

4️⃣ Oriental medicine clinic benefits

When using an oriental clinic, foreign national insurance subscribers can receive compensation for general oriental medical treatment expenses.

However, the scope of coverage and amount of compensation may differ depending on the hospital or oriental clinic contracted with the health insurance company, so it is recommended to inquire with the health insurance company or the relevant medical institution for details.

Today, I introduced the various benefits that foreigners can receive through national insurance.

Everyone, it's very important to take care of your health on a daily basis, but if you go to the hospital because you're really sick, you don't pay much for medical expenses because you have insurance. You don't have to worry too much.

I hope this helps you a lot today!
