You must bring your hospital ID!!

Starting from the 20th, you must verify your identity with an ID card, etc., when visiting a hospital

You can receive health insurance benefits.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that the mandatory hospital ID system will go into effect starting on the 20th.

To verify your identity, use a Resident Registration Card, Driver's License,

You may present an identification card containing a photo and resident registration number, such as a passport, health insurance card, disability registration card, veterans' registration card, alien registration card, or domestic residence report.

Identity verification can be performed using joint certificates, financial certificates, or simple authentication methods such as Naver and Kakao. Identity verification services provided by telecommunication companies or banks are also available. Electronic identification documents, such as mobile health insurance cards and mobile driver's licenses, are also permitted. However, ID photos or various professional licenses cannot be used.

I was told that if you leave your hospital ID at home, you have to pay the full cost for medical treatment.

However, I heard that if you return to the hospital within 14 days with your ID and receipt, you can receive a refund equivalent to the health insurance benefits.

Of course, minors who have difficulty verifying their identity due to a lack of proper identification are allowed to enter without a hospital ID.

I have to bring my hospital ID, so I think I'll keep forgetting.
