Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Seoul?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Seoul if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Seoul, they wrote...

"Healthcare and health insurance in Seoul, can be considered relatively affordable compared to many other countries. This is mainly due to the country's National Health Insurance (NHI) system, which covers all citizens and provides access to a wide range of medical services at reasonable costs. The NHI system is funded through contributions from both employers and employees, as well as government subsidies. However, some expats and visitors may find private health insurance to be more expensive, depending on their specific needs and coverage preferences. Additionally, certain specialized treatments or procedures may not be covered by the NHI, leading to higher out-of-pocket expenses for patients. Overall, while healthcare and health insurance in Seoul are generally affordable, individual experiences may vary based on personal circumstances and preferences," wrote a member who made the move to Seoul, Korea.
