Hi all,

I've tried searching for this as I"m sure it's been discussed before but I get hundreds of returns!

I know what kind of Chinese medicine I need and that I need acupuncture so all I need is an English speaking clinic/practioner. I live in Gangnam, so close would be ideal. I definitely want TCM, not the Korean style..

Does anyone know if medical insurance covers this?

Medical insurance almost definitely doesn't cover it.

Also, your title is worded in a strange manner Wink

My aspirin speaks German, so I think it's OK if her medicine speaks Chinese.

My medical insurance (the national plan) covered acupuncture, as well as the initial consultation with the doctor.

Chinese here is a big business. Last I heard, a lot of it isn't covered cause it's so expensive.

ha ha, that certainly was worded strangely...

Anyway, if anyone has any names or numbers I'd appreciate it?

Danke

Edith, I know an English speakin Chinese med doc here in Daejeon... but I don't think you'll want to come all the way here!

He charges, apparently 3-8,000 won per acupuncture session and other stuff starts at around 250,000 with medicine pouches that last a month?
