Everyone has to pay almost 60,000 won per month for the National Health Insurance, right? ㅠㅠ It can be a burden for international students, but you can get many benefits instead!. Anyone know? It's good to know what benefits you can receive for National Health Insurance subscribers!. Among the benefits, you can receive a free health checkup once every two years!

Those eligible for the health checkup are divided into odd-numbered years and even-numbered years. If this year is an even-numbered year (the ending is 0, ,2, 4, 6, 8), people with an even-numbered year of birth will be eligible for health checkups. This year, the 2023 health checkup targets people with an odd number of birth years! For example, if your birth year is 1999, 2001, 2003,... you can get a free health checkup this year! So, if you are a member of National Health Insurance and have an odd year of birth, apply for a checkup!!!

What are the health checkup items?

Tests that are generally free for everyone are: obesity (height, weight, waist circumference, body mass index); diabetes; vision, hearing problems; liver disease; High blood pressure; pulmonary tuberculosis, chest disease; kidney disease; oral disease; anemia, etc. Other than that, there are items to be added depending on age, and you can apply for a test separately. Cancer screening can also be targeted depending on age. For example, if you have stomach cancer, you must be over 40 years old to receive it!

If you are a woman, you can also get a cervical cancer test if you are over 20 years old!! Be sure to take advantage! Please note...

How and where can I get a health checkup?

It's usually better to get it at a big hospital, but if it's not convenient to go, search Naver and type in the address of your home or work (the area where you want to get tested) and health checkup, and you'll find many medical centers and hospitals. Choose the place you want to go and contact us in advance! If you are eligible for the National Health Insurance health checkup and ask if you can take the checkup and how to make a reservation, the staff will kindly tell you all about it one by one!


You can also do it online, but you have to log in to the National Health Insurance Service first.

And on the menu, it's a killer to find a healthy person-checkup institution/hospital.

Also, select the city and city where you live, check the necessary health checkup, and press the search button to see a list of hospitals that can provide checkups.

Personally, it would be more comfortable to search and book on Naver!

What should I do before taking the test?

Fasting for at least 8 hours before taking the test! Literally no eating for at least 8 hours! ㅠㅠ And, of course, this is also true~~. Many people said that you shouldn't even drink water.. Hmm.. How do you hold back when you're thirsty??!! You would think so. lol. You can drink water! However, you must drink bottled water~ No milk or drinks!!. So, at least 8 hours before receiving the dry sand, don't take anything for your body, and you can only drink bottled water when you feel thirsty~~.

Everyone knows now, right? Haha If you are eligible for this year's health checkup, make an appointment quickly and get tested. Get your feet checked, I hope everyone is healthy~~!
