You must bring your hospital ID card!!

From the 20th, you must verify your identity with identification such as an ID card when visiting the hospital.

You are eligible for health insurance benefits.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that the mandatory hospital ID system will be implemented starting the 20th.

To verify your identity, please present your resident registration card, driver's license,

You can present identification that includes a photo and your resident registration number, such as a passport, health insurance card, disability registration card, national veterans registration card, foreigner registration card, or domestic residence report.

You can verify your identity using joint certificates, financial certificates, simple authentication methods such as Naver and Kakao, and other methods. Identity verification is also possible through service providers like telecommunications companies or banks. Electronic ID cards such as mobile health insurance cards and mobile driver's licenses are also accepted. However, photos of ID cards or various certificates cannot be used.

If you forget your hospital ID card, you will have to pay the full amount out of pocket for treatment.

However, if you come back 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 do not have proper identification and find it difficult to verify their identity are not required to have a hospital ID.

I think I might forget to bring my hospital ID card.
