Q2The hospital says I don’t have insurance. What should I do?
Korean hospitals can only check people with Korean National Insurance. The student insurance through Handong is private insurance, so hospitals cannot check it. All you need to do is ask the hospital to issue the above required documents after seeing a doctor.
Q3Is my insurance going to cover the fee of the dental clinic? (or Korean oriental clinic)
According to the insurance company, determining whether dental clinic fees or oriental clinics are covered is depends on several factors. The simplest way to find out is to send related documents to INSCLAIM. An insurance company will let you know if it is possible to get reimbursement.

If you are not hospitalized, the maximum amount of medical expense which can be covered is 250,000KRW a day. Please refer to the ‘Coverage Information’ for further info.
