Am I entitled to benefit from "National Health Insurance"?

Now, You've arrived in Seoul, with a hope that you won't get sick in bed in this far-east country.

But what if you get ill? Is it expensive to see a doctor in Korea?

Most probably, you would never want to pay USD 100 everytime you get flu.

Quite a few of expats have traveler's insurance that covers medical expenses during their stay. But

that might cost pretty much or the coverage might not be wide enough to cover all different kinds of

diseases you might encounter during your stay. (Trust me, Korea is quite safe in terms of epidemics).


Fortunately, this country does not charge you much for seeing a doctor or a dentist. In fact, it's quite

cheap to get medical care if you are entitled to benefit from  the National Health Insurance. Seeing a

doctor and medication will cost about USD 5-10 for minor diseases like flu.
