If you hold a Korean Alien Registration Card and are enrolled in National Health Insurance, a primary care visit costs a few thousand won after coverage. These clinics are concentrated in Itaewon, Hannam and the international school districts.
For prescription continuity, bring the generic name of your medication rather than the brand, since brand names differ in Korea and a generic name lets any doctor find the equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment at a Korean clinic?
Most primary care clinics accept walk-ins, though expat-oriented clinics increasingly prefer booking. Hospital outpatient departments require appointments and often a referral.
Can I get my regular prescription refilled in Korea?
Usually yes, if you bring the generic drug name and dosage. Some psychiatric and controlled medications have stricter rules and may require a new local assessment.
