Frequently Asked Questions

What does family medicine treat?
Family medicine provides primary care for all ages. It covers common conditions (colds, indigestion, headaches), health screenings, vaccinations, chronic disease management, and smoking/weight management. It's the go-to specialty when unsure which department to visit.
What's the difference between internal medicine and family medicine?
Internal medicine specializes in adult internal organ diseases. Family medicine provides integrated and preventive care regardless of age or gender, treating everything from children to the elderly, physical and mental health, and even family-level health management.
Can family medicine manage chronic conditions?
Yes. Family medicine handles prescriptions, management, and lifestyle counseling for chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. A strength of family medicine is integrated management of multiple chronic conditions in one patient.
Can children be seen at family medicine?
Yes. Family medicine treats patients from newborn to elderly. However, pediatrics is more specialized for vaccinations and developmental assessments under age 3, so the choice depends on the situation.
How much does a family medicine visit cost?
General visits are covered by national health insurance, costing about KRW 5,000–15,000 for a first visit. Health screenings are non-covered and range from KRW 50,000 to several hundred thousand depending on scope. Costs are reduced for chronic condition patients on regular prescriptions.
