How to request medical certificates and copies of medical records.
Who Can Request
Under Article 17(1) of the Medical Service Act, medical certificates (including doctor's opinions) can be issued only to the patients themselves, except when the patient has died or is unconscious.
Required Documents
Bring your ID (resident registration card, driver's license, passport, government employee ID)
Issuance
Medical certificates and doctor's opinions for long-term care for the elderly can be issued only after the patient visits in person and is seen by their doctor.
For certificates (medical certificate, doctor's opinion, confirmation of admission) and medical records (medical charts, nursing records, test results, etc.), please apply to a nurse 2–3 days before discharge.
At DischargeAt the certificate desk on the 5th floor, you can request certificates and copies of medical records, or pay the fee and collect the documents you applied for in advance.
(Medical certificates and doctor's opinions requested on the day may not be ready the same day because the doctor has not yet written them, so please apply 2–3 days in advance.)
When requesting this certificate, please bring 2 half-size ID photos taken within the last 3 months.
Application for Regular CareRegardless of your treatment region, you can receive insurance benefits without a referral letter just by showing your health insurance card.
