From Planning to Appointment: Secure Your Korean Health Checkup Easily
You've learned that South Korea offers safe, fast, and highly affordable comprehensive health checkups—often at a fraction of the US cost. Now, it's time to take the next step: booking your appointment!
Booking a health screening as an international visitor can seem daunting, but Korea’s system is designed for efficiency and convenience. Follow this simple, step-by-step English guide to secure your spot.
Phase 1: Defining Your Needs (6-8 Weeks Pre-Travel)
To ensure the fastest booking process, have a clear idea of what you want from your health screening.
-
Step 1: Budget Consideration: Consider the range of checkup packages available (e.g., Basic, Advanced, Premium). Our packages start affordably, often significantly less than equivalent screening abroad.
-
Step 2: Essential Focus: Decide if you require specific procedures like the essential Upper Endoscopy, or advanced imaging like CT or Brain MRI.
Tip: Knowing your needs in advance will allow the specialist handling your request to recommend the perfect package without unnecessary delay.
Phase 2: Key Steps for Rapid Booking Confirmation (4-6 Weeks Pre-Travel)
While South Korea boasts many excellent medical facilities, do not waste time navigating confusing information. Follow these steps to swiftly confirm your checkup date and ensure you receive premium support.

Step 1: Quick Start via Direct Inquiry:

The quickest way to book is by reaching out immediately through an online inquiry channel.

Be Clear: State your preferred travel dates and the type of package you are interested in.
-
-
Step 2: Confirmation with Expert Assistance:
-
The specialist handling your request will confirm the exact uninsured cost, date, and time. They manage all details, guaranteeing English support.
-
Phase 3: Pre-Checkup Checklist (The Day Before)
Follow these steps meticulously to ensure accurate results and a smooth day.
-
Fasting (The Golden Rule): Stop all food and beverages (except plain water) at least 8 to 12 hours before your scheduled appointment. This is critical for blood tests and endoscopy.
-
Medications: Consult the hospital about prescription drugs. Usually, small sips of water can be taken with blood pressure or heart medication, but never take diabetic medication or blood thinners without a doctor’s explicit instruction.
-
Prep (If Applicable): If you are having a colonoscopy, you must follow the bowel preparation instructions (drinking the prep solution) exactly as provided by the hospital.
-
What to Bring:
-
Passport (for identity verification).
-
Reservation Confirmation (digital or printed).

Any medications you are currently taking (list of names).
