Hospital Procedural Process

In the case of Anam Hospital and Guro Hospital (hereby referred to as “Specialized General Hospital”)
  1. 1
    The health insurance card should be in the person’s possession, however in exceptional cases confirmation regarding health care can be verified through the personal information (medical insurance information) of the insured or subscriber at the medical information window (or "customer support").
  2. 2
    If the health insurance card is not in the person’s possession due to an emergency, then oral confirmation of health insurance coverage can be made to the corresponding medical institution, and then the medical insurance card must be presented within 7 days after the end of the emergency medical situation.
  3. 3
    Medical institutions are divided into categories of clinics (including dental clinics and oriental medical clinics), hospitals, general hospitals, and specialized general hospitals. And medical procedures are separated into a two-phase process by the medical care insurance law.
  4. 4
    To receive medical attention from KU affiliated Anam & Guro Hospital, the patient must receive prior phase 1 treatment from a clinic, hospital, or general hospital and be prescribed a “medical treatment request” in order to enter treatment phase 2.
  5. 5
    Be advised that without the medical treatment request, the patient cannot receive health care benefits during treatment phase 2. In this case, the health benefits provided by the university may also not be applicable.
  6. 6
    However, medical attention can be received without a “medical treatment request” in departments such as the emergency room, family medicine, and dental care even at a specialized general hospital.
In the case of Ansan Hospital
Health insurance benefits are provided without the “medical treatment request” mentioned in the “A”, and the procedures are the same as the above.
In the case of students without health insurance (including exchange students and international students)
  1. 1
    Korean national health insurance does not apply to international students, exchange students, and Korean students with different nationalities, therefore they must attend designated hospitals.
  2. 2
    Students must visit the medical benefit office in advance to obtain the "Medical Benefit Eligibility Verification" document in order to receive medical attention from the designated hospital. However, in the case of an emergency or other circumstances in which the student does not possess verification, the student must announced to the designated hospital that they are attending Korea University and follow the procedures that is instructed.
  3. 3
    If there is no adequate explanation regarding “2” by the corresponding institution, then contact humanities and social sciences medical benefit office.
