Cost & Insurance

Cost & Insurance

Once a bodily-injury claim is filed, accident-related treatment costs are in principle covered by auto insurance. Depending on the fault ratio, however, some out-of-pocket cost can arise, and the covered scope and period are defined, so we cannot promise there will be none at all. Please keep receipts for treatment received before the claim is filed.

An X-ray only shows bone fractures. Micro-injuries of muscle and ligament, and blood stasis, do not appear on imaging. Korean medicine diagnosis looks for these hidden causes and treats them.
