Designation Requirement: National health checkups cannot be performed at just any medical clinic; they must be conducted at designated hospitals or clinics officially registered with the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS).
Avoiding Missteps: Visiting a non-designated facility means the checkup will not be officially recognized as a national health screening, and you will not receive government coverage or benefits.

Checkpoints You Must Verify When Finding a Designated Health Checkup Hospital

When finding a designated health checkup hospital, rather than making a blind reservation simply because it is close to home, it is very important to meticulously check in advance whether the checkup items you wish to receive are actually available and whether reservations are smooth on your desired schedule.
Check Match of Checkup Items: Even if it is a National Health Insurance Service designated hospital, depending on the hospital scale or equipment holding status, only general checkups may be available or specific cancer checkup (stomach/colon endoscopy, breast cancer, cervical cancer, etc.) items may be omitted, so you must check whether the corresponding checkup is available before visiting.
Advance Check of Reservation Deadline: In the second half of every year (especially October to December), people wanting to take national health checkups flock, making it difficult to set schedules on desired dates, so it is best to coordinate schedules in advance during the first half of the year or a relaxed period.
Advance Questionnaire Completion and Guidance on Items to Bring: Filling out the electronic questionnaire in advance through the National Health Insurance Service Health iN website or mobile app before visiting the hospital can greatly reduce waiting times, and you must bring your ID to enable smooth reception.
