Hey everyone,

I'm planning on coming to Korea to teach in March. I've done plenty of research, but I can't find whether or not the NHIC covers pre-existing conditions. I have a condition that requires some pretty expensive meds, so I'm wondering if these will be covered.

Anyone in a situation like this? Or know a teacher who is?

This is make or break for me, so thanks for any help.

Why not list your condition or at least the meds, will probably help find someone in the same boat.

Not sure anyone will be in the same boat, but I suppose it can't hurt.

I had a kidney transplant in 2006, and the medicine I take prevents my immune system from attacking the new kidney.

They are:
Prograf
Cellcept
Prednisone

This stuff is pretty expensive in the states but it's absolutely necessary. I understand that NHIC covers about 60-70% of prescription costs, but I need to know if they will cover this stuff because my condition is pre-existing.
