|
|
I went to Dr. Sung's clinic in Hannam-dong...referred by a friend and I also saw Dr. Sung's name on a list of English-speaking ob/gyn docs.
Anyway, I went to her office today and she was going to charge me 80,000 won for a pap smear saying that my insurance doesn't cover it? That is really hard for me to believe.
Where can I find out what my insurance covers?!?!
Anyway, I'll just check out ANOTHER English-speaking doc in the meantime...she's certainly not the only English-speaking ob/gyn in Seoul.
HMPH!~~!!~
Does anyone know a site for health insurance coverage info in English??
Cheers,
GG |

Pap smear is covered by NI. You were conned. Report the doc to the authority!

The English site doesn't say much, but there is a phone number you can use that supposedly has English speakers. |

i would strongly discourage anyone from going to dr. sung. if you do a search for her on dave's you'll find that she's known for pressuring women to have a LEEP procedure, even if it's not necessary. |
