As per title.

How much is it to visit a GP? Most I'll need from him is a prescription.

Ballpark figure would be great. Thanks.

10-15k won at a regular clinic/hospital/beyongwon (plus 5-15k for your meds).

50-100k at an international clinic + meds.

Last time I was at SNU hospital (a bit ago, but not that long ago) without insurance in their international clinic it was 15,000 for a regular doc, 30,000 for a "specialist" for a prescription refill.
I can't imagine prices have shot up that much.
