FAQ
Common questions, answered up front
Have another question? Send it through the partnership form below.
What does Knowit Medi do?
While international patients are treated at a Korean clinic, we take care of everything outside the treatment itself: interpreting and in-person support, scheduling, airport pickup, getting around and staying in Korea, and keeping in touch after they go home. Diagnosis, treatment plans, procedures and pricing are decided by the clinic.
What does a clinic need to prepare?
All you need to get started is one contact person and a way to reply to inquiries from international patients. You decide which specialties you can see, when you’re available and what information patients should receive; we translate it into each patient’s language and pass it on. Let us know whether your clinic is registered as a medical institution for international patients, and we’ll work out the next steps with you.
How are fees determined?
Treatment fees are set by the clinic and paid by the patient directly to the clinic. Knowit Medi doesn’t set or collect treatment fees; we receive a commission only within the scope agreed in our partnership contract with the clinic. We’ll set out how the commission is calculated and settled in writing during partnership discussions.
Which languages do you support?
We’re starting with English and Indonesian, and will add Thai and then Vietnamese. We speak with the clinic in Korean and with patients in their own language, so the clinic doesn’t need to prepare any foreign-language support. What we tell patients is a faithful translation of the materials the clinic provides; we never explain medical matters on our own.
Are you registered to work with international patients?
We’re currently preparing our registration as a foreign patient facilitator. Until it’s complete, we don’t book appointments on patients’ behalf or charge any commission; for now we only hold partnership discussions and get ready. Once registered, we’ll show our registration number on this page.
How do you handle patients’ personal and medical information?
We collect only the minimum information needed for scheduling and contact, and only with the patient’s consent. Medical information such as diagnoses and treatment records stays with the clinic; we only pass it between the clinic and the patient, and never keep it separately or use it for anything else. How long we keep information and how we handle it are set out in our Privacy Policy.
