The
Hospitals in South Korea offers medical treatment of the international standard to Koreans as well as foreigners. The South Koreans receive medical attention on the Korean Health Insurance System. The foreigners too can get medical treatment on the Korean Health Insurance System. Some
hospitals do not accept overseas health insurance from the foreigners who may have to end up paying cash payment. But such is not the case if you are on the purpose of a business trip to South Korea and your employer pays taxes. In that case, you will by law be entitled to the health insurance through your employer.
