Re-newing Medical Check

Time to re-sign and I am being asked to get a basic medical check up.

I checked with the wonderful Nurse Lee at Dongeui Medical but the check is 90,000W, which my teachers insist is too much for something so basic.

I found the list of accredited hospitals on the immigration office site as follows: 

The Korea Baptist Convention Medical Foundation (Wallace Memorial Baptist Hospital)

Busan ST. Mary's Medical Center

Bumin Hospital

EunSung Medical Center Good Sansun Hospital

Eungsugn Medical Foundation Good Gang-an Hospital

Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital

Has anyone gotten their medical check at any of these hospitals and if so, how much was it? Thanks!

Hello, there.

This is what I got from the staff working for the English teachers in EPIC program.

If you are re newing your contract with EPIC, you don't need a full checkup which includes drug test and HIV ( costs about 93,000won at Dongeui Medical Center and takes about a week to get the result).

You go to the designated hospitals for the checkup and ask for 공무원 채용 신검 ( civil servant medical checkup) ( costs about 30,000 won at Dongeui Medical Center and takes 2days to get the result).

Please bring one passport size photo with you.

Thanks.

Hyosung City Hospital near Centum City charges 60,000 won.  They are a little intimidated if you come without a Korean, and they have absolutely no regard for patient privacy (they'll dicuss the details of your exam with anyone, anywhere, anytime - as long as they are Korean).  If the latter doesn't bother you, the former is the best price I've found.

I went to the Inje Univ Haeundae Paik Hosp ,   In korean its Beck Byoungwon , It  cost 100 000  , It was very  easy and not in any way stressful , I did not  feel like a goldfish ,
