Your Rights in South Korea

Korea's Insurance Business Act and FSS consumer protection rules guard policyholders.

1

Private insurers must process claim decisions within 3 business days of receiving complete documentation. Delays trigger interest payments on outstanding amounts under Korean insurance law.

2

FIDO financial dispute resolution is free and can be initiated after the insurer's internal complaint fails to resolve the dispute. Decisions binding if both parties accept.

3

Non-disclosure (κ³ μ§€μ˜λ¬΄μœ„λ°˜) must be intentional to fully void a policy. Courts apply strict standards to insurer claims of non-disclosure.

4

For Silson (μ‹€μ†λ³΄ν—˜) disputes: standard waiting periods apply, but the policyholder can challenge whether a condition is truly "pre-existing" under the policy definition.
