- Who is eligible
- Pregnant women who are Medical Aid recipients
- When to apply
- Apply after receiving a pregnancy or childbirth confirmation certificate from a medical institution. The voucher can be used from the date of the support decision until 2 years after the expected delivery date (or actual childbirth date).
- How to apply
- After receiving the pregnancy or childbirth confirmation certificate from a medical institution, apply at the city/county/district office (eup/myeon/dong community service center (행정복지센터)) -> registered as an eligible person with the National Health Insurance Service -> use with the National Happiness Card (국민행복카드)
- Important notes
- Use within 2 years from the date of the support decision up to the expected delivery date (childbirth date); the remaining balance expires after that
- Note
- For Medical Aid (의료급여) recipients, the amount is about KRW 1,000,000, the same as the national health insurance pregnancy/childbirth medical expense voucher, but applications go through the city/county/district office (including the eup/myeon/dong office). Details of the multiple-birth amount need official confirmation on the Medical Aid page (national health insurance basis: KRW 1,400,000 plus an additional amount). Receiving this together with the national health insurance voucher appears not to be allowed, but the official wording has not been confirmed.
Based on official sources as of 2026년 10월. Amounts and requirements may change, so please confirm with the official guide before applying.
