Ive been search for a minute on Daves and I cant find anything about healthcare.

I really only want to know what percentage of costs are covered by this insurance.

I do not have health care for a hard to explain reason.

Mostly, the hagwon owners sister works at the front desk at the hospital and they claimed she hooks up the same deal as I would get with insurance.

I had a kidney stone recently and at the hospital they presented me with a choice of a 400,000 and a 300,000 bill (roughly) claiming that the 300,000 is the cost if I have insurance, i was in pain so i paid the hospital directly or I could not get any care. These people are not trustworthy, but they did take me to the hospital. I thank them for that but I have a feeling they are lying to me as usual.

Plus, I had to pay 100,000 for perscription drugs.

So, my question is, what is the percentage covered by healthcare/insurance that forigner hagwon teachers get?

Is it like 30%, 70%, and what about perscriptions?

If you know something please share, thanks

discounts and insurance coverage is only for certain things.. and, things that are covered are only reduced by a certain percentage

i know for a fact ultrasounds aren't covered at all...

there is/was a thread on this and i went into more detail, but it was a while ago and i haven't been to hospital in about 6 months.. so, i'm not really up to date on most things these days..

search a bit harder maybe
