Who may claim the cost of treatment under this provision, and what must already have happened before that claim is filed with the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service?

General information · Not legal advice

Material to check

In a practice file of this kind, we read the papers showing that the provider is a medical institution within the industrial accident insurance scheme, the treatment records and bills for the care it gave, and the claim it filed with the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service, since each of those answers one of the conditions the provision attaches.

These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.

Where readings differ

One reading takes the conditions in order: only a medical institution of that kind may claim, only where it actually carried out treatment under the treatment provisions the provision cross-references, and only for the cost of that treatment, which the provision names as the expense to be claimed from the service.

Another reading marks the boundary of this provision: it says who claims and what for, while leaving the review and decision on a claim, and the method and procedure of payment, to be set by an ordinance of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, so this provision alone does not show how a claim is decided or paid.

Your judgment

On what date did the treatment given by that institution fall under the provisions the claim is said to rest on?

PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.

When to reconsider

We look at this again if the provision is amended to change who may claim or which treatment provisions the claim must rest on, or if a court decision explains what treatment the cross-referenced provisions cover.
