Some Russian critical-illness policies pay for treatment abroad — and South Korea is one of the destinations. We'll help you check your policy for free, and if it qualifies, we'll arrange everything on the Korean side.
Already diagnosed, or no insurance at all? The consultation is still free.
Take Health Without Borders as an example: the policy pays for far more than the hospital bill — nearly everything around your treatment. The exact scope is set by your contract.
The medical care you need is paid in full, within the program limit — up to €1,000,000 on the Classic plan.
Your trip to treatment and home again is covered — and the service company handles the arrangements.
The policy pays for your accommodation and your companion's, within the program's terms and limit. Someone close to you can stay by your side through the whole treatment.
A Russian-speaking medical coordinator stays with you, and a second medical opinion is included. At the hospital in Korea, the healwith team adds medical interpretation.
The insurer pays the clinic directly. You never pay upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
If you have a diagnosis, call the number on your policy first. Not sure where to start? healwith will help you figure it out, free of charge.
The insurer and its assistance company will ask for medical records — discharge summaries and test results. We'll tell you what Korean hospitals usually need, so you can gather everything in one go.
Under the program's terms, you're offered at least three clinics to choose from. If South Korea is among them, healwith will help you compare hospitals and find the right department for your diagnosis.
The service company books your travel and lodging. On the Korean side, healwith helps with the visa invitation letter from the receiving hospital, meets you on arrival, and stays with you at the hospital.
Payment is settled between the insurer and the clinic — nothing upfront from you, so you can focus on getting better. Once you're home, healwith continues remote follow-up and connects you with your Korean doctors whenever needed.
Here are the current Russian insurance products that officially cover cancer treatment outside Russia — and the assistance company that arranges the care. Details come from the companies' public materials; the exact terms are set by your own contract.
Keep one thing in mind: both policies have a waiting period for treatment abroad — 180 or 120 days. That's why this is insurance you take out in advance, while you're still healthy. Already diagnosed? Treatment in Korea is still possible — start with the free consultation below.
Covers cancer, cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, and bone marrow transplants — with no medical exam to enroll.
South Korea is named on the list of treatment countries, right alongside Israel and Spain.
Covers cancer, heart surgery, neurosurgery, and rehabilitation. A health declaration takes the place of a medical exam.
Treatment is available worldwide except the USA. South Korea is not a named exclusion — but confirm with the insurer that it applies to your case.
Not an insurer — an assistance company that arranges treatment for patients on insurers' behalf. Its Extended package arranges treatment abroad: choosing a clinic, coordinating admission, communicating with international doctors, and sourcing medications from overseas. The company reports an 85% five-year survival rate among its patients — its own count of its own clients, so it can't be compared directly with national statistics.
If your insurer works with MCR, ask how treatment abroad works under your policy — healwith can take on the Korean side.
South Korea is on the Health Without Borders list of treatment countries, alongside Israel and Spain — and the numbers help explain why.

healwith is open to partnerships with insurers and assistance companies, and takes on the Korean side of every case. We are registered with Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare as an international patient facilitator (reg. no. A-2026-01-02-06761). Our network: four university hospitals — Ewha Womans University Seoul and Mokdong Hospitals, Korea University Guro Hospital, and Severance Hospital in Sinchon — plus four branches of the Immune Hospital of Korean Medicine (Gangseo, Sinchon, Gwangmyeong, Seongdong). We handle the full cycle in six languages: hospital matching, medical interpretation, visa invitation letters, inpatient accompaniment, and remote follow-up after discharge.
That depends on your policy. Check three things: whether cancer is covered, whether treatment abroad is included, and whether the program's geography includes South Korea. The final answer always comes from your insurer — healwith will help you check and prepare the right questions, free of charge.
In direct-payment programs, the insurer settles with the clinic — nothing upfront from you, within your contract's limit and terms. Anything beyond the coverage is governed by your policy. The healwith consultation is free.
Yes. healwith provides medical interpretation and accompaniment at Korean hospitals in Russian and Kazakh — whatever your insurance situation. Under Health Without Borders, a Russian-speaking medical coordinator stays with you as well.
You can still be treated in Korea — you'd pay the hospital directly. We'll give you a clear picture of the costs, find a hospital for your diagnosis, help with the visa invitation letter, and stay at your side. The consultation is free.
The programs on this page are provided by the respective insurance and assistance companies — RESO-Garantia, Rosgosstrakh, and ManagedCare Russia. Their terms, limits, and exclusions are set by each company's official rules and your own contract — check the insurer's documents before you buy. healwith is not an insurance company and does not sell policies. We are a Korea-registered international patient facilitator: we organize the treatment process, but we do not provide medical or insurance services. All information comes from the companies' public materials, as of July 2026.
