How much does it cost to go to a clinic or hospital to get a prescription without health insurance? I have the medicine from the US to bring in and show them.

I went before I had insurance and seeing the dr. was the same as it is with insurance - ran me just over 16,000 won. The issue is if you have to get tests done - that's where it gets expensive.
Medication will be more expensive without it too. I think I paid 50-70k won each time for a few weeks supply of antibiotics for a sinus infection.

Your average GP/pill roller will charge you about 5-6k without insurance for a consult and a script.
If you go to an "international" clinic you can pay up to 10x that (even with insurance).
