Completely Eliminating Price Inflation for Foreigners; Declaring a 'Non-Discriminatory Pricing Policy' with 100% Identical Standard Rates for Nationals
Establishing Nationwide Hub Networks Including Incheon Airport, Seoul Metropolitan Area, Busan, and Jeju, Alongside English Medical Support and One-Stop Travel Concierge Integration
As South Korea firmly establishes itself as a global medical powerhouse, a premium medical platform has been launched, significantly improving medical accessibility for the 7 million overseas Koreans visiting their homeland and the 25 million global travelers visiting South Korea.
Headquartered in Seoul, the premium health check-up and medical linkage platform ‘Medi Check Scan Post’ (www.scanpost.kr) has established a strategic cooperative system with the Korea Association of Health Promotion (KAHP), a certified public health check-up institution in South Korea. The platform announced the official launch of high-end, customized comprehensive health check-up services tailored for Korean nationals, global compatriots, and international travelers alike.
Previously, many overseas Koreans and foreign tourists wishing to utilize South Korea's outstanding medical services faced psychological and financial burdens in crossing hospital doors due to complex reservation procedures, opaque pricing structures, and a lack of systematic communication channels.
To actively address these field insights, Medi Check Scan Post has introduced a novel ‘End-to-End’ medical linkage model that seamlessly integrates state-of-the-art comprehensive check-ups with travel itineraries.
■ 'Same Rates as Domestic Residents' Non-Discriminatory Policy: Maximizing Transparency and Trust
The standout feature promoted by Medi Check Scan Post is its 'Fair Pricing Policy.' Breaking away from the conventional practice of inflating prices for foreigners through excessive intermediary fees or foreign surcharges, the platform has declared a strict 'Non-Discriminatory Pricing Principle.'
All check-up programs offered by Medi Check Scan Post are priced to match 100% with the standard rates regularly paid by South Korean citizens, ensuring exceptional cost-performance (value for money) and high reliability for both overseas compatriots and international clients.
Based on a precise analysis of international medical standards and the flexible schedules of short-term travelers, Medi Check Scan Post designs and offers three core comprehensive health check-up programs:
Basic Program (approx. 350,000 KRW): Designed to evaluate major essential organ functions, achieve early disease detection, and cover blood biochemistry exams and essential basic diagnostics to check key health indicators in a short timeframe.
Comprehensive Program (approx. 550,000 KRW): The most popular and in-depth extended check-up protocol, featuring state-of-the-art CT scans, optional precise MRI/MRA, gastrointestinal evaluations (such as upper endoscopy), advanced ultrasound imaging of the abdomen and major areas, and expanded cancer biomarker analysis.
Premium Program (approx. 1,350,000 KRW): A top-tier, all-inclusive health check-up package encompassing cutting-edge CT scans, optional precise MRI/MRA, detailed cardiovascular functional evaluation, and precision diagnostics for major cancers.
This is evaluated as providing an optimal choice for compatriots who have long delayed precision health check-ups due to overseas residency, as well as foreign tourists seeking to directly experience next-level K-medical services at reasonable costs.
■ Nationwide Medi Check Infrastructure Integration: Implementing Specialized Medical Care Without Language Barriers
Medi Check Scan Post (www.scanpost.kr) has also built a robust nationwide network for client convenience. To ensure smooth connections from immediate entry to regional stays, check-ups can be received across 11 key branches spanning Seoul, the metropolitan area, major transportation hubs, and core tourist locations nationwide.
Korean nationals, overseas compatriots, and overseas residents can receive standardized medical care at any of the 11 Korea Association of Health Promotion Medi Check centers nationwide. These include the metropolitan area (Seoul West/Gangseo, Seoul East/Dongdaemun, Seoul Gangnam/Jamsil, Gyeonggi/Suwon, Incheon) and regional hubs (Busan East, Busan West, Jeju, Chungbuk-Sejong, Gyeongbuk, and Jeonnam Gwangju).
Particularly considering pure foreign clients for whom foreign language communication is essential, 6 key branch offices—Incheon, Seoul East, Seoul West, Seoul South, Busan West, and Jeju—are staffed with English-fluent medical teams and specialists to consistently provide a flawless multilingual medical environment.
All centers are equipped with university-hospital-grade, cutting-edge precision imaging diagnostic equipment and certified specialists to derive prompt and accurate diagnostic results.
■ Zero Reservation Risk and National Health Insurance/Travel Insurance Claim Support: Customer-Centric Convenience Systems
Considering the characteristics of long-distance travelers, Medi Check Scan Post (www.scanpost.kr) has completed a flexible and secure payment system. To alleviate the burden of pre-payment, the fundamental principle is that all check-up costs are paid directly on-site at the medical institution on the day of the check-up.
Furthermore, to flexibly cope with flight cancellations or sudden schedule changes, a ‘Refund Policy upon Cancellation During Examination Excluding Incidental Expenses’ is operated at all times to fundamentally block risk burdens for overseas clients.
In addition, for clients enrolled in overseas private medical insurance or travel insurance, detailed medical expense breakdown statements and receipts are promptly issued to actively assist in smooth insurance claim and reimbursement procedures.
Partnership benefits with global Korean associations, diaspora organizations, corporate entities, and travel clubs are also drawing attention. Special additional check-up items and customized preferential services are provided to members of organizations that have signed official partnerships with Scan Post. Inquiries regarding group partnerships are accepted at any time via the official email (koreamedipass@gmail.com).
Note: Verification codes received upon signing up for Medi Check Scan Post may enter the spam mail folder due to spam blocking policies, so checking and setting 'Release Spam' is recommended.
■ 'End-to-End Concierge' from Entry to Departure: Harmony of Travel and Health Check-ups
Going beyond simple medical brokerage, Medi Check Scan Post meticulously cares for the entire stay in Korea through solid partnerships with Hallyu tourism-専門 (specialized) travel agencies.
It supports a 'Dedicated Vehicle Airport Pickup Service' allowing safe travel to check-up centers or accommodations immediately upon arrival at Incheon International Airport (ICN). A dedicated concierge manager provides 1:1 customized integrated coordination so that the client's overall travel route—such as business meetings, K-culture experiences, and regional landmark tours—harmoniously blends with their health check-up schedule.
■ Opening of KakaoTalk Official Channel: Real-Time Consultation and Expansion of Global Partnerships
To overcome time zone and distance limitations and continue prompt communication, Medi Check Scan Post (www.scanpost.kr) is actively operating a mobile messenger-based KakaoTalk official channel.
A Scan Post representative emphasized, "Going beyond simple check-up brokerage, we will serve as a bridge that gives peace of mind to compatriots visiting their homeland and widely publicizes the excellence of K-medicine to visiting tourists," adding, "We warmly welcome strategic alliances with overseas local agencies, travel agencies, and Korean associations, and will actively step up to develop mutually beneficial cooperative models through non-face-to-face video conferences or in-depth face-to-face meetings when necessary."
Detailed program specifications, nationwide branch statuses, usage guidelines, and partnership inquiries can be checked through the Medi Check Scan Post official website (www.scanpost.kr) and representative email (koreamedipass@gmail.com).
