Seek medical care first if symptoms may be urgent. A complaint or refund discussion must not delay needed treatment.
Get medical help
- For a medical emergency in Korea, call 119. Do not wait for a clinic message reply.
- For other concerns, ask a qualified clinician for assessment and written follow-up instructions.
Keep a clear record
- Record the treatment date, symptoms and contacts. Keep quotes, consent forms, receipts and messages.
- Request your treatment records through the provider's secure process. Do not post private medical records publicly.
Choose a complaint route
- Ask the provider for a written explanation of the issue and proposed next steps.
- Consult K-MEDI about its process and eligibility. Do not assume a complaint guarantees compensation or a refund.
