Question 1

Is CAREMAP free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CAREMAP is a completely free directory of Korean clinics and hospitals. We aggregate official public data from HIRA (Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service) so you can search, compare and contact clinics at no cost.

Question 2

How accurate is the clinic information?

Accepted Answer

All clinic data — names, addresses, phone numbers, number of doctors and specialties — comes directly from Korea's HIRA public dataset, the official government source for medical institution records. We refresh the data regularly.

Question 3

Can foreigners visit these clinics?

Accepted Answer

Many Korean clinics, especially in Gangnam (Seoul) and Busan, are registered to serve international patients and offer interpreter services. Look for clinics with higher doctor counts and check our region guides for medical-tourism-friendly areas.

Question 4

How do I find the nearest clinic?

Accepted Answer

Use the "Find clinics near me" button on the home page. With your permission, CAREMAP sorts all clinics by real distance from your location — across every page, not just the current one.

Question 5

Are the reviews real?

Accepted Answer

Reviews are written by registered CAREMAP members and are personal opinions, not medical advertising. Per Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, we do not inject fabricated ratings or promotional claims. Always consult medical professionals directly.

Question 6

What kinds of clinics can I find?

Accepted Answer

Plastic surgery, dermatology, dental, ophthalmology, Korean medicine, orthopedics, ENT, internal medicine and more — with a focus on out-of-pocket (non-covered) and cosmetic care across all 17 provinces of Korea.
