| For those who have already taken the health screening, can you inform me about the process? Physical, blood tests, x-ray, etc.? Thanks. |

| Your question cannot be answered properly. It depends on the hospital you go to. For sure, it will include a urine test for drugs and blood being drawn for the HIV test. Other than that, it can be a ton of things. For me, it was all kinds of crap including, eyesight, dental, blood pressure, hearing, chest x-ray, height, and weight. Who knows what you will get. Mine was pretty comprehensive. |

These are part of the typical Medical - as well as what you mentioned Pinoy.
It's a fairly effortless, quick affair. Usually in and out of the hospital in about 20 - 30 minutes, then return a few days - a week later for the results.
(The only thing different I ever heard about was one or two having to supply a stool sample, but the general reaction to that was to simply refuse.)
The biggest thing that will vary in a Medical is the cost, as it does seem to vary a lot from place to place. The following link provides you with the names of a few Hospitals and how much they charged.

This was exactly what I did including the dental and hearing. Had to get naked and everything for the X-ray, too, LOL!
It cost about 65,000 won for me, and for some reason, nobody told me until I had to pay that this was actually going to cost me money, lol. |

Wow, mine was much simpler. LOL, I walked into a room, they took my weight and height (only shoes off). Then I walked over to this machine, stood there for 30 seconds, and then they took blood and urine samples.
A week later, I get the ok and one sheet to submit to immigration. 40,000 won. |

| Thanks for the replies, has anyone been to any of the testing medical places in Incheon? What did they test for? And how much did it cost? Thank you. |
