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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. What to Bring:

   • Passport (for identity verification).

   • Reservation Confirmation (digital or printed).

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

   • A list of any specific symptoms or concerns you want to discuss.
