I have a D4 student visa. I was given the names of two websites for health insurance:

http://www.nhic.or.kr/eng/ government's national health pro.

http://www.foreignerinsu.com/ another programme

Does anyone have any information as to what scheme would be best for foreigners on a student visa? I think the contribution for D2s and D4s is 50% of the cost (goto community/FAQ/contribution/4th question down) in the event of accident, illness or injury. I was told by my course administrater that it costs 10,000KRW a month.

The second one seems to cover anything upto 10m KRW, see below:

Has anyone had any experiences with either of the providers and what can you recommend? I thought I would add that I am often engaging in moderate to intense physical activity including but not restricted to soccer, weight training and various aerobic activity (running etc). I may consider to do some martial arts as well.

Thanks
