Before you decide

- Can a Korean hospital refuse a medical-record copy?
Patients may request access to existing records and copies, subject to identity checks and the applicable legal conditions.
- What does a family member need for medical records?
A qualifying family requester needs the documents for the applicable consent route, with separate age and sibling conditions.
- Diagnosis certificate or doctor’s opinion in Korea?
First issuance of a certificate or opinion is separate from copying an existing record; the named fee entry must match the document.
How can Korea medical records be requested?
Choose the existing record and the patient, relative or agent route before preparing the current documents.
Start with the request checklist and the getting-your-records topic. The current rule distinguishes family consent, designated authorization and the evidence for specified no-consent situations.
