K-ClinicKorea Pain Clinic Cost: Yonsei Ahn Checklist Before Paying
At Yonsei Ahn Pain Medicine in Bucheon, the basic exam costs ₩385,000 and is already included if you choose a treatment package, so it is not charged twice. Before paying, check five things: exam vs. package, extra tests, what the package includes, insurance documents, and your email address for the report.
Exam fee or package: what are you paying for?
Costs at Yonsei Ahn Pain Medicine have two layers: a ₩385,000 basic exam, and a treatment package or single treatment chosen after the evaluation. If you choose a package, the basic exam fee is included and not charged separately.
Many people seeing a pain clinic abroad for the first time worry about paying once for the exam and again for treatment. At Yonsei Ahn, if you only have the first evaluation, you pay the basic exam fee; if you choose a treatment package afterwards, that fee is counted inside the package. Confirming this once with the clinic before paying removes any doubt.
The basic exam includes an X-ray, a doctor consultation and brainwave/pulse wave evaluation. The first visit takes about 2–3 hours.
How much is a pain treatment package in Korea?
At Yonsei Ahn Pain Medicine, non-injection treatment packages cost ₩620,000–₩1,400,000, injection + non-injection packages cost ₩830,000–₩2,500,000, and VIP packages start from ₩3,750,000, depending on the combination of treatments.
The top of each range is more than double the bottom, so the question to ask before paying is not "how much?" but "which treatments are included, and how many sessions of each?" The clinic explains that the number of sessions is decided by the doctor and that you can also choose single treatments. The exact cost is explained after the doctor's evaluation.
Which tests cost extra?
Not included in the basic exam are ultrasound, 3D posture analysis, and allergy, vitamin, iron, blood, bone density and rheumatoid-related tests. They are done only when the doctor judges them necessary, and their costs are explained separately.
K-Clinic recommends asking on the spot, whenever the doctor suggests an extra test: "How much is this, and is it included in the package?" This is easier than reviewing the itemised bill at checkout. The price list does not state tax, so please confirm whether tax is charged separately as well.
What payment methods does Yonsei Ahn accept?
Yonsei Ahn Pain Medicine accepts credit cards, cash and Apple Pay.
The clinic is in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, near Exit 1 of Yeokgok Station (Line 1), and the building has parking. Reception and treatment are on the 3rd floor.
Insurance documents and email report before you leave
Yonsei Ahn Pain Medicine can prepare the documents needed for overseas insurance claims, and sends test results, a treatment summary, treatment recommendations and X-ray files by email about 1 week after your visit.
The forms required differ by insurer, and coverage should be confirmed directly with your insurance company. K-Clinic recommends finding out which documents you need before you travel and telling us when you book. Before you leave the clinic, double-check that your email address is written correctly.
