I have a couple questions for the intelligenta out there.

Does anyone have insurance that covers them beyond their regular insurance?

For example, insurance that covers the first month of your arrival in S.K and for accidents outside of the workplace.

Could you please give me the name and a number.

Thanks!

If you have to go to the doctor during the first month keep the bills. When you get the booklet, go back and they will give you a refund up to the amount you would have paid. National insurance covers you for accidents outside of work.

What country does that apply to?

My wife had a c-section while in Korea. We had to pay 1mil won for the procedure. Also, my buddy was hit by a taxi while he was on his scooter.

Are you saying that medical insurance back home will cover these accidents?

Thanks
