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
Eungsugn Medical Foundation Good Gang-an Hospital
Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital
Has anyone gotten their medical check at any of these hospitals and if so, how much was it? Thanks!
Re: Re-newing Medical Check
Hello, there.
This is what I got from the staff working for the English teachers in EPIC program.
If you are re newing your contract with EPIC, you don't need a full checkup which includes drug test and HIV ( costs about 93,000won at Dongeui Medical Center and takes about a week to get the result).
You go to the designated hospitals for the checkup and ask for 공무원 채용 신검 ( civil servant medical checkup) ( costs about 30,000 won at Dongeui Medical Center and takes 2days to get the result).
Please bring one passport size photo with you.
Thanks.

Re: Re-newing Medical Check
Hyosung City Hospital near Centum City charges 60,000 won. They are a little intimidated if you come without a Korean, and they have absolutely no regard for patient privacy (they'll dicuss the details of your exam with anyone, anywhere, anytime - as long as they are Korean). If the latter doesn't bother you, the former is the best price I've found.
