No Separate Signup Needed: Spotlight on 'Public Climate Insurance'

Here is the first piece of useful news.

Public climate insurance.

This is insurance information worth noting if you have visited the hospital due to heat-related illnesses.

It is said that you can receive benefits without having to sign up individually.

First is the Gyeonggi Climate Insurance operated by Gyeonggi Province.

About 14 million residents and others are automatically enrolled without any separate procedures.

If you use an emergency room for a heat-related illness, 100,000 won is paid, and if you are diagnosed with heatstroke or sunstroke, 150,000 won is provided.

Gyeonggi Province covers the premium, and duplicate compensation with existing private insurance is reportedly available.

In addition, 228 local governments nationwide, including Seoul, operate citizen safety insurance that covers various accidents.

There is no separate registration or premium burden.

However, coverage details vary somewhat by region.

Since you have to directly claim the insurance money if an accident occurs, please look into it.
