Prices are copied as published, in the provider's currency. Conversions use the European Central Bank reference rates of 23 October 2026 and are rounded. A provider can change a price at any time: ask for a written quote.
Before you book. The English page loads text through a translation script; amounts and item names above come from the page's Korean-language markup and inline price script. Standard/Signature/Noble/Whole Body are the 'nationwide common' programs; the list also shows 'foreigner specialised packages at nationwide centres' priced separately. Page says refusing some items does not reduce the fee; meal ticket included. Biopsy or polyp removal means no flying for 2 weeks per the page's precautions, and costs are charged in full for people without Korean health insurance. KMI is a check-up institution, not a hospital: serious findings are referred out to partner hospitals. No JCI or other accreditation claim found.
