What Is the Korea Medical Dispute Mediation Cost Calculator?

This calculator estimates filing cost for Korea Medical Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Agency procedures and compares it with a civil-litigation cost scenario. It supports mediation and arbitration, ordinary reductions, severe-case treatment, and exemption categories.

The Korean model follows the fee schedule used in the Korean page: a base fee up to KRW 5,000,000 claim amount, incremental fees above that level, and reduction or exemption logic for disability, basic livelihood, and meritorious-service categories.

Important Note

The fee result is a procedural estimate. Actual case cost can change if additional private appraisal, counsel, document translation, or separate lawsuit work is needed.

Reductions and Exemptions

  • Mild disability reduction: 30 percent.
  • Severe disability reduction: 50 percent.
  • Basic livelihood and meritorious-service categories are treated as exempt in the calculator.
  • The model keeps agency appraisal fee at KRW 0 for the mediation procedure itself, then separately compares possible litigation appraisal economics.

Litigation Comparison

The comparison uses a civil-litigation planning model that includes service fee assumptions of KRW 5,200 per round, 15 service rounds, two parties, medical appraisal at KRW 600,000 per subject, and optional lawyer retainer around KRW 3,300,000.

The savings figure is not a promise that mediation will resolve the dispute. It is a cost comparison so the user can decide whether to start with mediation, preserve evidence, or move directly to litigation.

FAQ

Does the calculator include hospital settlement payments?

No. It estimates procedure cost and litigation comparison, not the compensation amount itself.

Why compare litigation if I only want mediation?

Many medical disputes need a fallback route. The comparison shows the cost pressure if mediation fails or is not accepted.

Legal Use Notice

This English page translates and adapts the Korean calculator content for Korea-based estimates. The interactive calculator reuses the same Korean pure calculation function as the Korean page, so the numerical result is aligned with the Korean service. It is an estimation tool, not legal advice for a specific dispute.
