  • Tricare Prime(US military)
    We have a contract with Tricare.
    For the Prime members, Kyungpook National University Chilgok Hospital handles the claim, so there is no need to pay any fees related to medical treatment. (Except for the drugs prescribed from the independent pharmacy)
    Non-Prime members will be asked to pay in full at the time of service, and claim the insurance company for coverage afterward.
    Please note for the clients with Tricare Prime, you cannot use Tricare if you have Other Health Insurance (OHI).
  • Foreign Patients with Korean National Health Insurance (NHI)
    National Health Issuance Service Website (English)
    The patients covered by the Korean National Health Insurance Program (NHI) should bring a referral from a local doctor first, as per the NHI guidelines state. If you don’t have the referral yet, you may request one from a family medicine doctor. Since the referral is a document required for medical treatment, it cannot be retroactively submitted unless submitted by the day of treatment. If you submit a referral for your next visit, you will be covered from that day.
    You must submit an Original, and copies will be given if the patient wishes. If you are a global insurance holder and also have Korean National Health Insurance, ONLY Korean National Health Insurance is applied here.
