I just got my health check done at the Hannam Hospital. It was rather expensive (about 90,000 won). Is there any way to get that reimbursed with Korean insurance? I am working now, but do not have my ARC card yet. Another strange thing is it seemed the Korean people there were doing their urine test in uncovered paper cups. I was given a plastic cup with a cover? Why the difference?

I'm pretty sure insurance does not cover the health check. Mine was even more than yours - 180,000.

Wow. It's amazing the difference. Mine was only 45,000.

I gave them my insurance book, but I don't know if insurance actually covered a portion or if it was just less expensive.

yeah all hospitals charge diffferent, but i dont think you are going to be able to get reimbursed. if anything, i would ask your school to cover it, maybe they are really nice and will say yes.
