Cost & Insurance

In an emergency, the first hospital you go to may be an ordinary medical institution. To continue treatment after the industrial accident claim is approved, however, the facility must be a designated industrial-accident insurance institution for the care to be covered. There is also a procedure for transferring institutions, so please check in advance rather than moving on your own.

Q. Is treatment received before industrial accident approval also covered?

A.

Yes, eligible costs can be reimbursed retroactively after approval.

📝 Detailed Answer

Pre-approval treatment retroactive coverage: ① keep all medical records and receipts, ② industrial accident approval can take 1–3 months, ③ once approved, eligible costs reimbursed retroactively, ④ continue treatment during approval process, ⑤ Korean medicine treatment also eligible. Don't delay seeking treatment while waiting for approval — your health takes priority. Submit all documentation when approval comes through. Workers compensation labor counselors can help with paperwork.
