Do any of these mental health helps accept Korean insurance? How much does seeing a counselor run? I think I need to see one but am leary about the price. I called two off the list and neither accepted insurance and ran around 130 Won an hour. Is that the best I could hope for?

It's possible that Korean doctors and psychiatrists might accept insurance.
PM sent.

Seoul National Univ. Hospital at the Daehakro 대학로 Dr. Hahm Bong Jin 함봉진 선생님 speaks English well and is in order. He's a good guy and competnent.

If your not familar with SNU Hospital, you walk in the main entrance and there is a sign that says, "International Patients" I'm not sure after that because I speak Korean so I just go to the regular line.

Anyone know what the rates are? I heard Dr. Jinseng Park now charges 70,000 won per 30 minutes (it used to be 50,000 won per hour back in 2000).

Wow! That seems to be rather expensive for 30 min. Does anyone know if Korean Medical Insurance will cover a part of it?

Our school psychologist gave us some info on counselors. Here is the email she sent out:

FYI



I spoke at out last staff meeting about a new counseling service (in English) that has started outside of Gate 1. The clinicians are all trained and certified/licensed in the US or Canada. They do accept insurance and it is NOT post affiliated at all. The website is below. Feel free to check them out. I know they offer a flexible schedule for counseling and they do individual, family, marriage, play and sand therapy for kids too.



I just wanted to let you know about a new service available for counseling services in English.



Here is the website: http://www.ahskorea.com/

Typically, only psychiatrists (with MDs of course) are allowed to administer medication.

This is a nice list for inside Seoul. Is anyone aware of a list for prescribing psychiatrists outside of Seoul (speaking English, hopefully?!)

If you try hospitals that have psychiatry, you should hopefully be able to find a doctor who knows enough English. Or they'll be able to point you in the right direction. Best of luck to you.

Are psych med prescriptions (or any prescriptions) covered by Korean insurance? Partially covered? Anyone have any idea how much prescriptions run if not covered by insurance?
