Hospitalization
- Available 24 hours at the administrative office for emergency medical service registration.
-
- Severity of the patient condition is classified with KTAS (Korean Emergency Patient Classification Tool) prior to registration.
- Emergency tests such as blood and imaging tests are promptly performed according to the patient's symptoms, treatment and procedures. Also, consultation with other department is requested if necessary.
- The priority of treatment in the emergency room is based on the emergency symptoms, not when it was received.
(The definition of emergency symptoms is in accordance with Article 2 of the Enforcement Regulations of the Emergency Medical Services Act) - For patients suspected of having an infectious disease, separate treatment is provided in the screening room for a safe treatment culture.
- When you are allowed to be discharged after receiving emergency treatment, you will make a payment at the administrative office and get prescriptions before discharge home.
- Those who have received a hospitalization decision by the attending physician will proceed with the hospitalization process after completing the procedures at the administrative office of the Emergency Department.
Emergency medical management fees
In accordance with Article 2 of the Emergency Medical Services Act, emergency medical management fees are accrued for first aid and emergency medical treatment for patients with emergency symptoms. However, if you do not fall under any of the emergency symptoms or symptoms equivalent to those, you will be responsible for the full cost. The emergency medical management fees are collected separately from the filing fee according to the national policy to prevent congestion in the emergency room due to non-emergency patients.
As of 2022 (registration fee not included)
| Division | Emergency medical management fee |
|---|---|
| Patients without National Health Insurance | 131,620 won |
| Patients with National Health Insurance | 65,810won |
Limited access to the emergency room
- In accordance with Article 31-5 (Restriction access to Emergency Room) of the Emergency Medical Service Act, the number of persons who can enter the emergency room as patient's guardian is, in principle, limited to one per patient.
- For those who are guardians other than the primary carer, please wait in the guardian waiting room outside the emergency room, and you can check the status of treatment through the patient status board available in the guardian waiting room.
Use of an ambulance
- If you want to use an ambulance, please contact the administrative office of the Emergency Medical Center.
- If you are transferring to another hospital or use an ambulance to go home, a private ambulance will be arranged and a fee will be charged based on the travel distance.
