Free medical checkup in Korea

You have to pay almost 60,000 won per month for the National Health Insurance, right? It can be a burden for international students, but you can get a lot of benefits instead! Does everyone know? It’s good to know what benefits NHS subscribers can get! Among the benefits, you can get a free health check once in two years!
Those who are eligible for medical checkups are divided into odd and even years. If this year is an even number of years (the end is 0, 2, 4, 6, 8), people who are born in an even number of years will be eligible for medical checkups. The health examination subjects for 2023 this year are those with odd birth years! For example, the year of birth is 1999, 2001, 2003,…If it’s a year, you can get a free medical checkup this year! So if the year of birth and odd number of NHS subscribers, apply for a checkup!!!

Q&A Free medical checkup in Korea

What are the items for the medical checkup?
Generally, free tests for everyone are: obesity (height, weight, waist circumference, body mass index); Diabetes; vision, hearing loss; liver disease; high blood pressure; pulmonary tuberculosis, chest disease; kidney disease; oral disease; anemia, etc. Other than that, there are items to add depending on your age, and you can apply for an examination separately. Cancer tests can also be subject to age. For example, in the case of stomach cancer, you must be over 40 years old to receive it!
If you are a woman, you can get a cervical cancer test if you are 20 years old or older!! Make sure to take advantage of this! Please refer to it..


How and where can I get a medical checkup?
It’s usually good to get it at a large hospital, but if it’s not convenient to go, if you search Naver for the address of your home or workplace (the neighborhood you want to be examined), and if you have a medical examination, you’ll find many medical centers or hospitals. Choose the place you want to go and call me in advance! If you ask if you can get a checkup and how you can make a reservation, the employees will kindly tell you each and every one by one!It’s available online, but you need to access the National Health Insurance Service first. And on the menu, it’s a killer to find a healthy person – a check-up institution/hospital. And if you check the necessary medical examination by checking the city and province where you live, and then press the search button, the list of hospitals that can be examined appears, so you can choose a hospital and contact them!! Personally, it would be more convenient to search and reserve on Naver!


What should I do before I get tested?
Fast for at least 8 hours before being tested! You literally shouldn’t eat anything for at least 8 hours! ㅠㅠ그리고. And drinking alcohol is a given that you don’t drink. A lot of people said you shouldn’t even drink water..How can I hold it in when I’m thirsty? You’ll think like this, right? . You can drink water! But you have to drink bottled water No milk or drinks at all! So don’t drink anything in your body at least 8 hours before you get dry, and you can only drink bottled water when you’re thirsty.

What do you wear for medical checkups?

  1. You have to take off all your top and bottoms, leaving only your underwear. After that, I wear a gown in the hospital.
  2. You can take off your shoes socks and change into hospital slippers.
  3. You have to take off your metallic accessories, so I recommend you not to wear them in the first place
  4. For your information, those who have a colonoscopy have separate colonoscopy clothes. You should wear clothes that have a hole in the back of your pants and are covered with a cover. Also, if you have a colonoscopy, you should take off your underwear and wear pants.

You all know now, right? LOL If you are eligible for this year’s medical examination, make a reservation quickly and get tested~ The results may vary depending on the hospital and medical center, but the results will come out for 1-2 weeks. I hope you get a checkup and stay healthy!

Korea's four major insurances refer to all four insurances directly managed by the government to ensure a stable economic life for the people from social risks. In Korea, people with income, companies, and institutions are required to pay four major insurances! It's a mandatory subscription insurance that all workers must sign up for, regardless of whether they are interns, non-regular workers, or regular workers!Foreigners also have to pay four major insurances if they work for a Korean company! When you look at job postings on recruitment sites, there are often the same conditions as "four major insurances included." Some companies offer four major insurances instead, or some companies have such conditions, such as 50%. What are the four major insurances? The four major insurances include national pension, national health insurance, employment insurance, and industrial accident compensation insurance. In the case of international students, if they live in Korea for more than six months, they are obligated to pay national health insurance every month. If you get a job in Korea, you have to pay the national pension, employment insurance, and industrial accident compensation insurance in addition to the national health insurance. Then what kind of benefits do you think each insurance provides? The four major insurances don't usually get any benefits right away, but they can get benefits depending on the conditions of the insurance the national pension The National Pension Service pays 4.5% of its monthly salary as an insurance premium almost every year. The national pension, which is later paid for retirement, is a system created in preparation for not being able to work if a worker retires after a certain age. In other words, when you retire later, you have the amount you can get every month, and that amount will be returned to the National Pension Service we paid for! employment insurance It is a system created for...
