Registration, professional licensing and accreditation answer different questions. None alone guarantees a treatment outcome or confirms that a procedure suits you.
Confirm identity
- Request the clinic's legal Korean name, branch address and responsible clinician's name.
- Ask whether your contact works for the clinic or for a separate agency.
Check the stated status
- Use official Medical Korea registration guidance for foreign-patient attraction registration.
- Check any KAHF claim separately for the correct institution and current validity. Ask the relevant authority about unresolved licensing questions.
Resolve differences before paying
- Compare names and addresses on the quote, consent documents and official information.
- A missing search result can be a naming or lookup problem. Clarify the discrepancy; do not treat it as proof of illegality.
