Patient's question:
I have university student health insurance. After a thorough examination, I was diagnosed with varicocele in the scrotum. Can the examination fees and medication costs incurred during this period be pre-paid?Doctor's answer:
If you carefully check that the expenses were incurred during outpatient services, without completing hospital admission procedures, and without receiving intravenous treatment, prepayment is not possible. If there are abnormalities after a careful check, surgical treatment is required, and hospital admission procedures must be completed. A portion of the surgical expenses and subsequent treatment costs can be prepaid through medical insurance. The condition of varicocele tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. For male patients, it is important to actively seek diagnosis at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on the results of careful examinations. Additionally, it is necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
