On this page
What does this site do?
It aggregates disclosed non-covered prices into ranges by item, region and hospital type, with sources and dates.
What does this site never do?
It never names institutions next to prices, recommends hospitals or links price to results.
- No tables that put institution names next to prices; snapshots do not store institution names (Medical Service Act, Article 56).
- No hospital introductions, bookings or consultation links (Medical Service Act, Article 27).
- No sentences linking price to treatment results; the relationship cannot be judged from this data.
- Questions about the cheapest hospital are answered only with the steps for HIRA’s official lookup.
How are prices aggregated?
Only item, region, hospital type and price are read; groups under five institutions are hidden; the script is published.
Which sources does the site use?
Primary public sources first; research institute reports are used only as background and labelled as secondary.
Does the site collect any personal data?
No. There are no forms, and self-check answers are not stored.
Under what terms is the data reused?
Public data is reused under each publisher’s terms, such as Korea Open Government License Type 1, with the source and reference date.
Where do these numbers come from?
- Medical Service Act (Articles 27, 45, 56)
- Non-covered medical fee disclosure (by item and institution) Institution names are discarded after aggregation
- Standards for reporting and disclosure of non-covered medical fees (notice)
