Visit a medical institution implementing the program → enquire whether you qualify as a beneficiary of the program → undergo a medical consultation → receive treatment
Medical institution confirms the entitlement of the beneficiary and provides treatment → Medical institution requests medical expense assessment by the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service → Medical institution will submit the result of the assessment and claim reimbursement of medical expenses from Busan Metropolitan City → Busan Metropolitan City will review the submitted documents → Busan Metropolitan City pays expenses owed to the medical institution.
