Re-newing Medical Check

Submitted by on

Time to re-sign and I am being asked to get a basic medical check up.

I checked with the wonderful Nurse Lee at Dongeui Medical but the check is 90,000W, which my teachers insist is too much for something so basic.

I found the list of accredited hospitals on the immigration office site as follows: 

The Korea Baptist Convention Medical Foundation (Wallace Memorial Baptist Hospital)

Busan ST. Mary's Medical Center

Bumin Hospital

EunSung Medical Center Good Sansun Hospital

Private Health insurance: information on minor and especially major.

Submitted by on

I have the standard coverage for foreigners through my school. I'm looking for additional health insurance to cover minor, but especially major illnesses/injuries, etc..  Mainly I'm thinking about the big health issues like cancer, surgery, etc..

I want to make sure that the medical costs, ambulance costs, room charges, special testing costs, equipment, and any other darn thing that they charge for is covered to an acceptable degree.

medical MRI cost

Submitted by on

So I messed my shoulder up at the gym and I am about certain that I have a tear. I plan to go to the hospital on Saturday for Xrays and an MRI. However, I was told by some teachers in Busan that MRI's arent covered by insurance? Has anyone had them done and have any idea what the cost is?
