One day, I suddenly felt a lump on my father’s body, so I made a reservation at a university hospital thinking it might be cancer, but the test was only possible two months later ㅜㅜ
So first, I went to the neighborhood radiology department and got an X-ray, and they said there was a white lump and that it could be cancer. I got a cancer suspicion report and went to the university hospital, and they said I would have to wait two months, but I was able to get it done within 5 days. The result was really cancer!! When I was actually diagnosed with cancer, I was more worried about money than the pain.
The health insurance that my father paid over 100,000 won every month from his meager salary was for this situation. If you had just paid your health insurance properly, the calculation special case would have been applied, so you would have been eligible for most diseases, including cancer, and if you were diagnosed with a disease at a university hospital, you would have been eligible for the calculation special case. The professor told me to apply right away. There are many times when I feel grateful when I meet doctors at the hospital. Since applying for the calculation special case requires the cooperation of a doctor, I hope you meet a kind doctor at a general hospital.
For related inquiries, call the National Health Insurance Corporation at
1577-1000 without the area code.
I got help from the hospital and immediately sent an application to the corporation. After 2-3 days, I got a text message saying that the special calculation was registered!! It came out to over 10 million won including surgery, examination, and hospitalization, but I actually paid about 1 million won. The important thing is that you have to apply within 30 days of the diagnosis confirmation date. You can apply even after 30 days, but the reduced amount will be different. The special calculation period is slightly different for each disease. For reference, it is 5 years for cancer. My father is cured, and the follow-up examination that costs about 1.5 million won is still under the special calculation, so he only pays about 60,000-70,000 won. As far as I know, our country’s medical system is world-class. You can be proud of it~~ I hope you know it and use it when you can…
